Check out Victoria Looseleafs Artbound profile on Sussan Deyhim and THE HOUSE IS BLACK. And come to the world premiere Friday night in Royce Hall. It was my desire to do something with a sophisticated contemporary Iranian artist in literature. I also wanted someone who shatters every pre-fabricated idea of what that means, like someone who is a provocateur, someone who is a true activist and humanist, someone who is abstract-minded, dark and a nihilist. And, Deyhim added in no uncertain terms, her mellifluous voice rising to make a point, someone who is funky and street smart, who has something to say to those people hiding behind tradition, as if tradition is stagnant and stays like that for eternity and we have to be so faithful to it that we stop thinking of any kind of future. Im working with her because I want to take this idea thats been kept hostage by the Eastern tradition.
