New Threads Reading Series
A Moment of Silence
by Mohammad Yaghoubi,
translated and directed by Torange Yeghiazarian

Hailed by many as one of the best Iranian plays written after the 1979 revolution, A Moment of Silence investigates the impact of the revolution through the imagination of a writer who falls victim to the Chain Murders of intellectuals and artists in the 1990s. Widely acknowledged for his layered and imaginative approach to realism, Yaghoubi is an outspoken artist who continues to challenge the governmental systems of control.

May 16 at 7:00 pm | Joe Goode Annex, 499 Alabama St. #150, San Francisco

  

 

 Golden Thread Night at the San Francisco International Arts Festival
White Rabbit, Red Rabbit (2009, US Premiere)
By Nassim Soleimanpour (Iran)
Performed by Ahou Tabibzadeh

Soleimanpour's 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. Per Mr. Soleimanpour's instruction, the script of White Rabbit, Red Rabbit will be opened in front of the audience and performed unrehearsed by a different actor each night. 

May 18 at 8:00 pm | International Festival Lounge, 540 Sutter Street, San Francisco
