Iranian Nassim Soleimanpour dissects the experience of a whole generation in a wild, utterly original play. He turns his isolation to his advantage with a play that requires no director, no set, and a different actor for each performance. Volcano Theatre co-produced the world premiere of White Rabbit, Red Rabbit in 2011, shown simultaneously at SummerWorks and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It is now playing around the world.Volcano Theatrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05842981636478085003noreply@blogger.comBlogger168125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3310650668950083603.post-62204526447539917612013-06-07T07:03:00.000-07:002013-06-07T07:03:27.703-07:00Signing OffIt has been incredible sharing these notes and pictures with the <i>White Rabbit, Red Rabbit </i>community.

"'I wrote something, and I hope you laughed!' Nassim/Tomos [the actor] comments. We did, and we felt a frisson, a tangible rapport with the writer back in Tehran. Isolated from his public, Nassim uses his fertile imagination as a political tool. The rabbits of the title are part of a fable, an allegory about his uncle and rabbits who, like Pavlov's dogs, learn behaviours which persist even when the stimulus is removed. This is a grim, black Aesop, where bears harrass rabbits and crows with walkie-talkies are hidden in the rafters. And after thirty seconds of fun our thoughts are directed toward suicide."Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11011268221271187109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3310650668950083603.post-90052945210072817492012-12-10T11:05:00.000-08:002012-12-10T11:11:00.166-08:00REVIEW: WRRR at Dublin Fringe (Ireland)<i>Posted on The Flaneur.

The New Haven Review has a great post online about the performances:<br />
<br />
<i>"Soleimanpour, as the absent presence in his play, needles us and nudges us and banters with us, all the while insisting that he can only have any affect upon us via theatre - he lives in Iran and can't leave his homeland, so theatre becomes his vicarious form of travel. And where does he travel to? Why, to our free society, of course, only to impose upon his audience and his volunteers as much as his autocratic imagination can devise, while undermining that relation as much as possible. We, the audience, have to decide how much we'll go along with. We're free to leave or intervene, or to refuse his commands.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>...</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"The best thing the play has going for it is that Soleimanpour has found a neat staging of his situation: in writing the play and putting his name to it, he doesn't know what will happen to him. In volunteering to be in the play, The Actor doesn't know what will happen either. Because of polite conventions in the "free world," probably nothing bad (the clean glass). But there are exceptions - ask Salman Rushdie, as the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three of his staff members who had nothing to do with a crappy film defaming Mohammad that happened to surface on their watch. Soleimanpour makes theatre. It might prove fatal (the poisoned glass)."</i><br />

Some questions she's still mulling over:<br />
<br />
<i>"Is it even possible to have theatrical performance by a non-actor? Can an 'unfictionalized' actor successfully subvert the fictionalizing power of the theatrical frame? And if, the frame is subverted in this way, is it still theatre? Or has the whole event evaporated back into life?"</i><br />

The full impact of the show only hit her once she was back in the real world:<br />
<br />
<i>"I hit the street and burst into tears. Completely unexpected. The show had not seemed sad or angry while I watched it - it was wry, funny, a little dark and a little demanding. But I did not feel it manipulate me emotionally to feel angry or sad. I felt these emotions in my body, as my body moved through space away from the man lying on the floor. I was culpable, I was free and he was not, and he was angry and very sad, alone and in danger."</i><br />

<br />
<i>"Soleimanpour is quick to point out that the play's themes speak to issues that go beyond the borders of his country. 'I don't know why everyone likes to interpret the play as talking about my fucking political situation in Iran,' he complains. Being seen as a critic of the government is risky and, as he explains, 'The play is working without me in your country.'</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Still, there's no denying the impact of the evening's most concrete image: an empty chair in the front row that speaks to the playwright's absence.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Soleimanpour remembers a Brazilian man who emailed him to share his experience of </i>White Rabbit<i>. The man entered the theatre with his mom, who joked that they should sit next to the absent author and talk to him. The man demurred, saying, 'I don't know any words in Persian.' But later he wrote to Soleimanpour: 'We sat somewhere else, and then we came to this part of the play where you say, 'I'm not going to be at the show; maybe you have to keep an empty chair for me.' Suddenly, I started to cry and I thought to myself, 'I have to go back to my place and send you this email. Whenever you have your passport, you have a chair at my place. My mom will cook you something. And then we're going to sit and drink some beers together.'</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In Iran, Soleimanpour received this email and wept."</i>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11011268221271187109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3310650668950083603.post-85731804432474413092012-09-27T09:17:00.000-07:002012-09-27T09:17:01.724-07:00REVIEW: 4 Stars from Entertainment.ie****4 Stars (out of five) from <a href="http://entertainment.ie/theatre/feature/ABSOLUT-Fringe-2012-White-Rabbit-Red-Rabbit-Nassim-Soleimanpour/211/3223.htm">Entertainment.ie</a>:<br />

It helps that Rea, despite his fame, is an actor who can disappear - and that he does a good ostrich impression."</i><br />

Hey!<br />
<br />
That's so nice! After sending you that e-mail, I looked in google and I found your blog, with the pictures of the performances around the world, including in my city, Sao Jose do Rio Preto, Brasil! And the impressions of the public...That was a really great play, and I hope I can see other plays written by you!<br />
<br />
Thanks for answer!<br />
<br />
ps: while I was watching, I was so afraid with the possibility to go to the stage and participate, because I am so shy...ahaha. And I thought that maybe this is the feeling (the fear) that people (or the red rabbit) who is always watched tastes...I had a very good time! =D<br />

Glad we could help! I guess it will become more and more common as technology moves on. Maybe you'll get skyped in one of these days. Although I guess that would ruin it a bit!</div>

It's a very interesting and intelligent play. It left us all with a lot to think about. I work as a writer in advertising here in London - we often find that the most creative solutions come from the biggest problems and I think that's true here too.</div>
