The wondrous story of loss and loneliness, of first love and liberation seems like the source from which the many great novels of the Japanese master Haruki Murakami are fed. In the magnificent translation by Ursula Graefe, the novella has now been adapted for the stage by Jacqueline Kornmüller and can again be seen as a world premiere at the Odeon from September 21, 2022.
The fantastic illustrations for the novella as seen above are from Kat Menschik – thank you so much Kat!
