Haruki Murakami's Sleep brings a unique, immersive experience that blends narrative storytelling with musical influence drawn from the world of Murakami's writing. Inspired by the short story Sleep (The New Yorker, 1992; The Elephant Vanishes collection), this performer explores themes of memory, dream, and rhythm—mirroring the way Murakami’s fiction has long intertwined with jazz and nocturnal sounds. From a writer who once owned a jazz club to a contemporary performer shaping nocturnal listening experiences, Sleep invites audiences to a sonic journey rooted in literature and music.
