In Word for Word's adaptation of Haruki Murakami's 1983 children's novella, magical, self-rearranging walls submerge you in a dreamlike state, creating an immersive journey.
As the boy finds himself pulled deeper into a once-familiar building, little surprises keep appearing, making the experience feel like a house of wonders full of creativity.
Yet little great theater lives on visuals alone; the emotional depth and dreamlike quality of Murakami's writing also play a crucial role in the storytelling.
The innovative staging by Mikiko Uesugi transforms a seemingly simple library basement into a labyrinthine, surreal world that captures the essence of Murakami's prose.
