Meet the Director: Stephen Earnhart (United States)

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is an interdisciplinary theatrical production based on the international best-selling novel by one of Japan’s most celebrated writers, Haruki Murakami. Conceived and directed by Stephen Earnhart and written for the stage by Stephen Earnhart and Greg Pierce, the production first premiered at the 2011 Edinburgh International Festival to good reviews.

Join us at this up-close-and-personal session with Stephen Earnhart, formerly the Director of Production at Miramax Films. Stephen will share about his journey and process in developing the work which began 7 years ago when he first wrote to Murakami to seek his permission for the adaptation of the 600-page novel into a stage production.

Date: 30 November 2011
Time: 7.30pm
Venue: Kinokuniya Main Store
Seats are limited on a first-come-first-served basis.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle will be presented at the 2012 Singapore Arts Festival.

Stay tuned for the latest updates on the next Festival, coming 18 May 2012!

Red Dot Irreal
by Jason E. Lundberg

Travel to Southeast Asia on wings of the fantastic for
Jason Erik Lundberg’s debut collection, RED DOT IRREAL.
There you’ll meet pirates and shamans, wise fish and mystical story-
tellers, living monuments and paper animals, time travelers and civet
cats, stone taxi drivers, floating dental patients, and a sentient bird
park. Once you enter the surreal worlds of Lundberg’s equatorial
fantastika, a part of you will never leave.
