『川端康成三部作』是一個由日本與台灣三位劇場藝術家獨立推動的三年期創作計劃，集合了野添征爾（2012岸田國士戲曲賞得主）、山縣美礼（日本當代舞踏家）、劉亮延（台灣當代劇場編導），自2012年起，計畫用三年時間改編搬演日本現代主義文學巨擘川端康成的三部作品，分別為《片腕》(野添征爾)、《水晶幻想》(山縣美礼)、《少年》(劉亮延)。並於2014年串聯成一齣三小時的節目，於東京與台北公演。

這個台日聯合創作計劃最主要的目的，乃在於重新探索川端康成文學在『現實』與『超現實』世間所精密籌劃的分界線，雖然川端康成文學的改編版本種類繁多，但對於區分「現實之界」的深刻思考長久以來少有觸及。三位劇場藝術家將透過本計畫能帶領更多讀者，通過自身文化與語言的形式，重新組建對於川端文學的理解。

「川端康成三部作」計畫，已於2012年4月6日至8日，於東京公開演出第一彈《少年》，共四場，由台灣劇場編導劉亮延執導。

2012年12月20與21日，本計劃在台北牯嶺街小劇場二樓公開演出第二彈《片腕》。12月26至28日，在東京Morishita Studio演出3場。由野添征爾執導，三名日籍演員演出。

Taipei-Japan International Collaboration Project- The Yasunari Kawabata Trilogy is a collaboration of three artists from Japan and Taiwan – Seiji Nozoe (Japanese artistic director/playwright of Haegiwa Theater Company, winner of the Kishida Drama Award 2012), Mirei Yamagata(Japanese Butoh dancer/actor/producer), and Liang Yen Liu (Taiwanese playwright/artistic director of Theater of Lee Qing Xhao the Private), who will all indvidually direct and present the showing of pieces in their own specialty based on the novels of the Japanese writer, Yasunari Kawabata (Noble Prize for Literature laureate).

The project aims to introduce different artistic forms to the performance arts scene of Tokyo and Taipei, using Kawabata’s literature as a means to present the uniqueness and power of theater and dance– doing what can only be done on stage. The collaboration will create international exchange of artistry between the audience and artists to expand on the depth of their style within the cultural exchange. It will also address issues in society and history by using Kawabata’s literature as a means.
