MURAKAMI
A three-dimensional way to experience the magical world of Haruki Murakami
The ensemble Ikarai teams up with vocalist Sanne Rambags (winner Edison 2019) and visual artist V&J to reshape Murakami’s story.
Fish that fall out of the sky like rain, talking cats, philosophizing prostitutes, places where time does not exist and thoughts that become truth. Based on texts written by writer Frank Siera, Ikarai grasps the magic of Murakami in a cinematic combination of classical and jazz music.
In MURAKAMI, Ikarai lets the audience enter Murakami’s mind. Improvisation, composition and storytelling fuse together into a new type of concert: a writer’s world, set to music.
