Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman at GFT
7 – 13 April, 2023
Composer turned director Pierre Foldes has created an elegant animated adaptation of short stories by the great Haruki Murakami. Set in Tokyo in the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake and tidal wave, it faithfully recreates the entrancing world of Murakami as a faltering marriage falls apart, a cat goes missing and a mild-mannered bank teller is visited by a large, ebullient frog seeking to prevent a catastrophe that is about to strike Japan.
Poignant existential angst blends with playful flights of fancy in a weird and utterly wonderful English-language journey towards enlightenment.
GFT, 12 Rose Street, Glasgow G3 6RB
