Haruki Murakami’s Jazz at Peter Cat

In this specially curated show, audiences can step into a Japanese listening club for one day only, hearing reinterpreted classics that formed Haruki Murakami’s literary universe, and allowing travel between realms and imaginations – and perhaps even experiencing Peter Cat itself. Three established bands from Japan, Junko Onishi Trio, Sachi Hayasaka Quartet and Yoshio Suzuki’s The Blend, will transport audiences to different eras of American jazz, exploring Japanese perception of these classics and presenting original compositions. With spoken word elements, a unique stage design, and newly-commissioned visuals, the show promises to be a unique immersive project and a highlight of the festival.
