"NASSIM is a richly-engaging high-wire act between actor, writer and audience -- bridging cultures through the imaginative power of language," said Artistic Director Loretta Greco. "I am honored to have this exciting event as a part of our season and thrilled to be partnering with Chris Norway and Stanford Live again (24 Decades) in bringing the deeply talented Nassim Soleimanpour to the Bay."
From Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour* comes an audacious new theatrical experiment. Each night a different performer joins the playwright on stage, while the script waits unseen in a sealed box...Touchingly autobiographical yet powerfully universal, NASSIM is a striking theatrical demonstration of how language can both divide and unite us.
NASSIM follows Soleimanpour's globally acclaimed White Rabbit Red Rabbit, which has been translated into over 25 different languages and performed over 1,000 times by names including Stephen Fry, Ken Loach and Whoopi Goldberg. WINNER of the Scotsman Fringe First Award at Edinburgh Fringe 2017.
