White Rabbit, Red Rabbit

White Rabbit, Red Rabbit is a play by Nassim Soleimanpour.

Oslo International Theatre writes the following about White Rabbit, Red Rabbit:

"Who pulls the strings in your life? Who do you pretend to be? Even though he is miles away in Iran, the playwright Nassim Soleimanpour controls everything that happens in the theatre venue. A secret letter to the world, a set of instructions and an actor who does not know the text - these are the elements of a performance challenging our perceptions of the freedom to choose. The spectators also become pieces in the board game.

Imagine that you are 29 years old and unable to leave the country in which you live. Through White Rabbit, Red Rabbit the young playwright Nassim Soleimanpour has found a way to communicate with the world despite this, one that raises attention internationally. The award-winning play was hailed by critics and spectators when it opened in Edinburgh during last summer's festival. Now it arrives Norway for the first time."

The play is also a web phenomenon:

In the blog http://whiterabbitredrabbit.blogspot.com/ experiences and response from all the places in the world where the play has been performed are compiled, in a gradually increasing network of performers and spectators.
