Synopsis:

Will you participate? Will you be manipulated? Will you listen? Will you really listen?

With no rehearsals, no director, a sealed script and a different performer each time, internationally acclaimed White Rabbit, Red Rabbit, by Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour, is an audacious theatrical experiment and a potent reminder of the transgressive and transformative power of theatre.

Forbidden to leave his native Iran, Soleimanpour wrote a play which travelled the world in his place. The audience joins each different performer on a journey into the unknown; stumbling upon the personal and profound, the limits of liberty and where theatre can take you.

White Rabbit, Red Rabbit will be presented on 13 March 2024 in celebration of Let There Be Theatre day, a global initiative by Aurora Nova to celebrate the resilience of live theatre. On this day, White Rabbit, Red Rabbit will be performed all over the world. This year it will be presented in more than 19 countries including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Germany and Romania. In Singapore, it will be performed by Gary Tang in Cantonese (script translated by Tan Cher Kian) and Doreen Toh in Hokkien.

2024 will also marked the 10th anniversary of White Rabbit, Red Rabbit in Singapore. It was first presented at the NUS Arts Festival 2014.
