Z Space and Word for Word present:
The Strange Library
by Haruki Murakami
Directed by Lisa Hori-Garcia and Keiko Shimosato Carreiro

November 13 through December 8
in Z Below

“…this kind of thing’s going on in libraries everywhere, you know.”

Word for Word transforms Z Below into the macabre imagination of the celebrated and enigmatic Japanese author Haruki Murakami. In his haunting and atmospheric short story, “The Strange Library,” a lonely boy, a mysterious girl, and a tormented sheep-man plot their escape from a secret, labyrinthian world.

This is the stuff of dreams—or nightmares!
