The story unfolds two narratives simultaneously: a serene, fantastical world and a thrilling adventure. This work will be staged for the first time ever, directed and choreographed by Philippe Decoufl\u00e9 and starring Tatsuya Fujiwara.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the stage production, starting in January 2026, we are holding a special exhibition where visitors can experience the world of the novel. The exhibition features a diorama of the \u201cEnd of the World\u201d from the novel, as well as photographs from past stage adaptations of Murakami\u2019s works.
