Beijing News (reporter Cao Yannan) On July 27, the creative work "White Rabbit, Red Rabbit" by young Iranian playwright Nanxing Suleimanpol was staged in the multi-purpose hall of the Beijing Intermediate Theater. In the afternoon of the same day, young actors Zhang Dianlun, Zhai Tianlin and Bu Yu respectively starred in the play, and in the case of complete unfamiliarity with the script, they interpreted this special work for the audience in different forms of performance.

Since its introduction to China in 2017, the Middle Theater has performed the play for three consecutive years. "White Rabbit, Red Rabbit" is different from the traditional one-man show rehearsal method, the actor can only receive the performance instruction within 48 hours before the stage, and needs to react according to the script on the spot, which is a drama that tests the ability to improvise. During the performance, the audience is also invited to the stage as part of the drama participants, and works with the actors to advance the plot and determine the direction of the ending.

On the day of the performance, the three actors treated the "rabbit" very differently. Zhang Dianlun showed his anger and fear when facing the script on the stage, while Bu Yu, a comedian by birth, continued his own theatrical style, full of jokes between his hands and feet. Zhai Tianlin, who has not appeared for a long time, is undoubtedly the most anticipated actor of the day, and this is also his first stage performance after playing the role of count in "Like a Dream" at the end of last year. In this performance, Zhai Tianlin was also rated as "the one who surprised me the most" by the introduction of the project and the artistic director of the Middle Theater. In Manding's view, the initial choice of Zhai Tianlin to participate in the play is precisely because of the closeness between himself and the script, and Zhai Tianlin also sincerely and truly showed himself on the stage. "Some parts even gave me more feedback than expected, which was a pleasant surprise." The smoothness of this cooperation also made Manding feel, "Zhai Tianlin's business ability is indeed very passable, and I look forward to the possibility of continued cooperation in the future." ”

For the audience, this drama viewing is also a wonderful theatrical game experience, "This is a very special form of performance, although I did not participate in the performance, but it seems that I am talking to the playwright through the actors, the performance scene is also like an interesting social laboratory, each actor has contributed the most authentic self, let me be very touched." One audience member said.
It is reported that so far, "White Rabbit, Red Rabbit" has been translated into at least 20 languages and performed more than 1,000 times around the world.
