FAQs:

Q: What is the novel Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World about?

A: The novel is a unique blend of two distinct narratives that alternate chapter by chapter: a hard-boiled, cyberpunk story set in a futuristic Tokyo, and a surreal, allegorical fantasy set in a walled town known as the “End of the World.” The two stories are linked by the theme of consciousness and the subconscious mind.

Q: Who is Philippe Decouflé and what makes his direction unique?

A: Philippe Decouflé is a highly-regarded French director, choreographer, and dancer known for his innovative, multimedia approach to performance. His productions are often characterized by a blend of contemporary dance, mime, circus arts, and spectacular visual effects, making him an ideal choice for adapting Murakami’s surreal world.

Q: Who is the lead actor, Tatsuya Fujiwara?

A: Tatsuya Fujiwara is a highly celebrated Japanese actor known for his versatile roles in film, TV, and particularly theatre. He gained international recognition for roles in films like Battle Royale and Death Note. He is known for his intense and charismatic stage presence.

Q: Is this a play or a dance performance?

A: Given the involvement of director and choreographer Philippe Decouflé, the production is expected to be a hybrid performance. It will likely combine traditional dramatic acting (starring Fujiwara and the cast) with elements of contemporary dance, visual spectacle, and multimedia art, staying true to the novel’s imaginative nature.

Q: Which character will Tatsuya Fujiwara be playing?

A: In the novel, the main character is split between two personas: the “Calcutec” (a sophisticated data processor) in the hard-boiled world, and the “Reader of Dreams” in the End of the World. Tatsuya Fujiwara is expected to play the central male protagonist that connects these two realities.
