Event
White Rabbit, Red Rabbit Performed by Jubilith Moore
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.
A graduate of Bard College, Jubilith Moore is the Artistic Director of Theatre of Yugen and has been with the company, and a student of Yuriko Doi, since 1993. She acts, directs and writes for the theatre and has devoted her professional life to exploring the ongoing life of traditional Japanese and contemporary American theatre. She has studied Noh with Richard Emmert, Akira Matsui and Kinue Oshima (Kita school). While under a Japan Foundation Fellowship in Tokyo, she had the honor of studying with Kanze School Noh master Shiro Nomura, Kyogen master Yukio Ishida (Izumi school) and Kotsuzumi Noh drum with Mitsuo Kama (Ko school.) She received a TCG Future Collaborations Grant enabling her to collaborate with Mr. Ishida on her full-length Kyogen style production of CANDIDE, OR OPTIMISM. Recently she directed herself as the central figure in Erik Ehn's CORDELIA, which has been invited to be a part of the SOULOGRAPHIE PROJECT at New York's historic La MaMa E.T.C. in November 2012. Jubilith's latest project is A MINOR CYCLE which will receive its full premiere in December 2012. Written by Philadelphia based playwright Greg Giovanni, it is an exploration of the marriage between the rich content of children's literature of the West with the rich form of the performance traditions of Japan.
