A dream-like folktale of modern life, THE SONIC LIFE OF A GIANT TORTOISE explores urbanites’ collective longing for the extraordinary. Like a Murakami story come to life, SONIC LIFE... feelingly navigates the complex threads of the mundane and surreal. Can our secret wishes lead us out of the boring day-to-day into a more meaningful existence?
"These are the serious questions, and I, like the characters may be sleeping through them. In those moments, the play feels like a knife in the gut." - Time Out New York
"Maybe it's our fate to always wish for more, but Okada hits that something more is all around us, if only we could step outside ourselves and see." - The Village Voice "Toshiki Okada is the Thornton Wilder for the Google generation." - NY Theatre Now |
“The Sonic Life of a Giant Tortoise” is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
