AUTO DA FE is Masataka Matsuda's breathtakingly poetic new work. A soldier named Odysseus A returns from war to find the emotional and physical landscape of his home utterly altered and unrecognizable. The play originally produced in Kyoto and Tokyo, Japan, to much popular and critical acclaim, is a dreamscape of collective amnesia, life during wartime, the selfconscious erasure of history and national identity, and a search for meaning and beauty. English translation by Kameron Steele & Shigeki Morii |

Director/Creator Stephen Earnhart | |
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is an interdisciplinary theatrical production based on the international best-selling novel by one of Japan’s most celebrated writers, HARUKI MURAKAMI. Inspired by Murakami’s visionary style, director Stephen Earnhart (formerly Director of Production for Miramax Films) combines dazzling elements of live performance, live music, puppetry and dance/movement with cinematic (or “cutting edge”) video and audio technology to create a hypnotic “theatre of dreams”. This cross-cultural play has been developed in New York and Tokyo and represents an international collaboration between Western and Asian artists and designers. |
