Kafka on the Shore

Acclaimed Japanese director Yukio Ninagawa returns to New York with his staging of the 2002 Haruki Murakami novel (adapted by Frank Galati). Two storylines intertwine: that of a teenage Franz Kafka fleeing an "Oedipal curse" at home, and a retired man who has an uncanny ability to find lost cats. Myth, banal reality and magical realism collide in fascinating ways.
