Overview

This high-profile theatrical production brings Kobo Abe’s existentialist masterpiece “Woman in the Dunes” to the modern stage. Directed and scripted by Tatsuya Yamanishi, the play delves into the dense, haunting atmosphere of the original novel, where a schoolteacher becomes trapped in a vast sand pit with a mysterious woman. Starring the renowned Tsuyoshi Morita and Sawako Fujima, the performance explores themes of entrapment, adaptation, and the human condition through a visceral, stage-specific lens.

The tour travels across Japan, hitting major cultural hubs including Tokyo, Osaka, Miyagi, and Aomori. This adaptation is highly anticipated for its ability to translate Abe’s surreal and claustrophobic world into a tangible theatrical experience. With a talented supporting cast and Yamanishi’s innovative direction, “Woman in the Dunes” promises to be one of the most significant literary-to-stage adaptations of the 2026 season.
