The famous novel from Haruki Murakami, Hard-boiled wonderland and the end of the world, is taken to the the stage under the direction of the French choregrapher Philippe Decoufle. It will play in Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, from January 10 to February 1st.
The play will be all in Japanese, in contrast with The confessions of a Monkey which was played partly in English, but it will be worth for Murakami’s fans who will have already read the novel, even with not full Japanese skills, and are ready to pay for the somewhat expensive tickets.

Greetings from the edge of the earth II
Suzuki Company of Toga will be playing in Kichijoji from December 12 to December 21. The second episode of the famous work Tadashi Suzuki, director and playwright who contributed so much to exchanges between the Japanese and international theater world, will be performed in the capital. A regular feature of the Scot Summer Season, this is a unique chance to have a glimpse of this works without having the chance to travel to Toga. It will be held in Japanese, as long as we can judge, but is a must-see in the contemporary theatre scene. See also the succinct leaflet in English and a presentation of the play in Japanese. This play is mythical, like a unicorn, but nobody has seen a unicorn yet everybody can describe one. Built on the shoulders of King Lear, this tragedy authored by Tadashi Suzuki stems from the observation of a sick world inhabited by sick people. Will there be hope at the edge ?
