Haha. I have no idea.
I think this is a brilliant idea. I have always been a fan of puppetry (I think it began with Mr. Rogers) and am enthralled when directors work puppetry and masks into theatre (and film), which is why Julie Taymor is a big idol of mine. And puppetry and masks are a big part of Japanese theatre. |

I think they may have actually cut the Lion Dance. It's not on the recording. |
