A sealed manuscript, an unsuspecting performer and an evening full of uncertainty
In the studio of the Hof Theater, Nassim Soleimanpour's worldwide theater experiment White Rabbit, Red Rabbit becomes an immediate stage experience. On November 20, 2026, a public figure or performer will be the first to open the sealed manuscript - without rehearsal, without preparation, and without knowledge of the text.
Theater in the moment
The production is created at the moment the envelope is opened. There is no classic directorial instruction, a set stage design, or pre-developed character work. Instead, acting, risk, and audience reaction meet in an extraordinarily direct theater atmosphere.
Each performance thus has its own dramaturgy. Unexpected turns, tasks, and direct interaction blur the lines between play and reality. The audience does not experience a reproducible theater evening, but a unique experiment, the course of which no one fully knows.
Between power, freedom, and responsibility
Behind the playful surface unfolds an existential text about society, freedom, power, manipulation, and responsibility. Soleimanpour connects stage directions with questions that reach far beyond the stage space. The tension arises not only from the unknown course, but from observing how people act, react, and make decisions under unusual conditions.
A stage without a safety net
It is precisely the absence of rehearsals and classic direction that gives the evening its special intensity. Acoustics, lighting mood, and stage space do not become decorative backgrounds but resonate with each reaction. A glance, a hesitation or an unexpected impulse can change the atmosphere immediately.
The concept has been performed internationally since its inception and translated into numerous languages. The Hof performance marks the premiere at the Hof Theater and relies on the radical power of the unique moment.
Information for theatergoers
The text explicitly addresses violence, suicide, and discriminatory language. Attendance is recommended for ages 16 and up. To avoid jeopardizing the experiment, audience members should not disclose details of the course. Any prior information would diminish the evening's tension.
Conclusion: A theater evening that only happens once
White Rabbit, Red Rabbit promises not a typical play, but a risky, explosive, and touching stage experience. Those who want to experience theater as a living encounter, as an open space for thought, and as immediate audience reaction will experience an evening full of uncertainty at the Hof Theater. Secure your ticket and engage with the experiment live - before the envelope is opened.
