Event
White Rabbit, Red Rabbit Performed by Leonard Pitt
White Rabbit, Red Rabbit (2009, San Francisco Premiere)
By Nassim Soleimanpour (Iran)
Iranian playwright, director and set designer Nassim Soleimanpour declined to serve in his country's armed forces. In return, the Iranian government denied Mr. Soleimanpour's request for a passport.
Unable to leave Iran, Mr. Soleimanpour has instead sent his script to SFIAF to be read by another actor. His arresting and allegorical work, White Rabbit,Red Rabbit, dissects the experience of a whole generation in a wild, utterly original play. Soleimanpour turns his isolation to his own advantage with the play (written in English) which requires no director, no set, and a different actor for every performance.
Leonard Pitt has worked and studied in the arts for nearly 50 years beginning his career in 1963 studying mime with Etienne Decroux. He has performed and taught at theatres and festivals throughout the United States, in Europe, Brazil, Bali, New Zealand, and Australia. Leonard is currently working on a new one-man show with theatre director Arne Zaslove.
In 2009 he and James Donlon opened The Flying Actor Studio in San Francisco offering a one year program in the art of physical theatre. In 1991, Leonard created Eco-Rap, an environmental education program combining ecology and rap music as a way to educate inner city youth about urgent social issues. In 1986 he co-founded Life On The Water, a contemporary theatre in San Francisco presenting new work.
Leonard has written three books on Paris. Two walking guides: Walks Through Lost Paris, 2002 in French, 2006 in English, Paris, A Journey Through Time, 2008 in French, 2009 in English, and Paris Postcards - The Golden Age, 2010. His fourth book, A Small Moment of Great Illumination, about the 17th century Anglo-Irish healer Valentine Greatrakes, was published in 2006.
