The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

From Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour (creator of the Off-Broadway smash hit White Rabbit, Red Rabbit) comes an audacious new theatrical experiment. Each night, a new, unrehearsed local 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.

“Dear performer. I want to show you something. Did you know, in Farsi, my name is written like this: ‘.ROUPNAMIELOS MISSAN si eman yM’”
