What did our critic think of ACROBUFFOS' AIR PLAY at The Broad Stage?ACROBUFFOS’ AIR PLAY tells its own story of friendship and fun with a little competition in between through fans and props. It is silly and tender, and one of the most beautiful performances you will ever see.

PARADISE

A contemporary spin on the ancient art of silent physical comedy, asking big questions without saying a word.

A work in progress by Acrobuffos, Seth Bloom and Christina Gelsone / United States

From the world-renowned makers of Air Play, comes a new comic fantasia replete with spectacular beauty, metaphor, and humor.

It’s the end of the world.

Or the beginning of a new one.

BWW Review: NASSIM at The Overture Center

"In this time of not only country wide, but worldwide division, Nassim brings people together with a commonality in this multi-media presentation. In his beautiful autobiographical tale, he manages to capitalize on human experiences that relates to most people. The love of a mother, the longing for home, the nostalgia of what once was, and the quest for more."

01/21/2022

On the 13th of March we offer a free license to the play
WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT by Nassim Soleimanpour to theaters around the world for FREE, so that this play will be performed and watched by actors and audiences everywhere.

After the huge success of our LET THERE BE THEATER last year, with almost 100 venues taking part all over the world, we want to repeat that event on the 13th of March every year, until it has been played in every country in the world - and we would love to have you as a partner.

In March 2020 most theaters closed their doors because of the pandemic. With the initiative "Let there be theater” we celebrate the resilience of our sector as a global community and the importance theaters play for their audience and society at large. In 2021, 92 theaters in 33 countries took part in this initiative and performed the play on the same day. We hope that in 2022 it will be even more!

A quick reminder about the play and the part you would play:

With no rehearsal, no director, a different actor each night, and a script waiting in a sealed envelope on stage, internationally acclaimed “White Rabbit Red Rabbit” by Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour, is an audacious theatrical experiment and a potent reminder of the transgressive and transformative power of theater. Nassim Soleimanpour was denied a passport in his native Iran because of his status as a conscientious objector. Unable to travel, he decided to write a play which could travel the world in his place. This makes for a unique, thrilling experience for all, as the audience joins a different performer each night on a journey into the unknown; stumbling upon the “personal and profound, riffing on the limits of liberty and exploring where theatre can take you, with or without a passport.”

For you producing this play would mean finding an actor who is willing to read and perform a script, they have never seen before, in front of a live audience. The performance can happen in any kind of venue, large or small, indoors or outdoors, whichever is permissable under local Covid restrictions. Venues will keep income they receive for the performance. We encourage producers to donate a portion of the takings to a worthy cause, to aid someone in their community in need of help. Although it also would be completely fine if that someone is the producer. The performer can be of any gender or occupation (it doesn't have to be a trained actor), but it is imperative that they do not know the play or see the script before performing it in front of an audience.

We would love for you to join us on the 13th of March 2022 and produce White Rabbit Red Rabbit at your venue. If you are interested please message us or send an email to [email protected]

Apart from the 13th of March we can also offer you a license for the play for a single show or a longer run.

If you are interested or have any questions, I would love to hear from you.

FAQ

- Can I read the play before I decide whether or not to produce it? Yes. We will send you a script upon request by email, with a disclaimer that you are not allowed to share, publish or reproduce it yourself.

- Can I perform the play myself? If you’d like to perform the show yourself, you need to find a producer, who we then send the script to, because you will not be able to receive or read it before the show.

- Do you have the play translated in my language? The play needs to be performed in the local language. We have over 30 translations available, and we will try and assist you in getting a translation in your language, should it not yet exist.

- What do you expect in return? All we require from you is to communicate with us the location of the performance and the name of the performer and to send us a stage report after, which informs us of the starting and finishing time of the performance, the number of people present and whether anything unexpected occurred during or after the performance.

- What if besides myself, someone else wants to stage the show in my neighborhood? To avoid confusion and unfair competition, we aim to license the show only to one person per town, or per city district. We aim to be transparent and try to avoid conflicting interests, but you will not be able to get an exclusive license for any larger territory for the day of March 13th.

- Can the performance be streamed online? No. We want this to be about the live theater experience. However there is one exception: should your show be threatened to get cancelled due to a sudden change in pandemic restrictions, we will allow you to put up a streamed version for your audience. This will have to be communicated with us, as certain adaptations will need to be made and we want to make sure that the streaming is live only.

- I’m not interested in producing myself, but I know someone who could be. Can I share this email? We would love if you would forward this email and share it amongst suitable producers

Tröll is a lo-fi wi-fi fable about things that go bump in the night. It combines storytelling, music, and puppetry into an uncanny tale from the twitchy edges of the digital age.

Thrilled that The Griegol has been selected as part of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation's Performing Arts Global Exchange Roster for 2023. The programme supports presenters in the US to bring in international work and they've put together a beautiful line up of shows from Aotearoa and Australia. It's been a (long) minute, so cannot wait to get back to touring with Boat Rocker Entertainment and bring this show to North America.

Super stoked that Yes Yes Yes has been selected as one of the top 14 productions from around the world to be part of IPAY 2021 Culture Crew Festival. The productions were selected by a group of young people aged 13-18 from around the world. Shout out to our new US agent Boat Rocker Entertainment

Thanks Jim Weiner for sharing this piece from Patch Theatre of Boat Rocker Entertainment !
Kicking off our far-flung tour of with a sold out run at Te Tairāwhiti Arts Festival this week. So stoked to be part of this new festival - thanks so much for coming along. If you've missed out on tickets, try your luck for returns, otherwise head south and catch it at Harcourts Hawke's Bay Arts Festival next week (or, if you're really determined, head east and catch it at Teatro Del Lago Frutillar-Chile in November...)

"They say you can get lost in a good book.
But it’s worse getting lost in a bad one..."

From award-winning company Trick of the Light Theatre comes a story of mystery, magic and mayhem.

The Bookbinder is an inventive one-man performance that weaves shadowplay, paper art, puppetry, and music into an original dark fairytale in the vein of Neil Gaiman.

First performed in the back room of a secondhand bookshop as part of NZ Fringe, it has since toured across Aotearoa, Australia, South Africa, the UK, and the USA. It enjoyed sell out seasons at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in both 2015 and 2016, and received Best Theatre and Best in the Fringe at the NZ Fringe 2014, the International Excellence Award at Sydney Fringe 2014, and the Children’s Theatre Award at Fringe World 2015.
