SUMMARY:ICU (I See You) : A One-Woman Play
DESCRIPTION: ICU (I See You) \nA one-woman staged reading inspired by Iran’s “Women\, Life\, Freedom” movement  \nPresented by \nRed Poppy Art House and Golden Thread Productions present a special theatrical reading of ICU (I See You) by Leyla Modirzadeh and Domenique Lozano\, a one-woman play performed by Bridgette Loriaux. \nDates \nFriday\, June 19\n Doors: 7:00 PM | Performance: 7:30–9:00 PM \nSaturday\, June 20\n Doors: 7:00 PM | Performance: 7:30–9:00 PM \nSunday\, June 21\n Doors: 1:30 PM | Performance: 2:00–3:30 PM \nVenue\n Red Poppy Art House\n 2698 Folsom Street\n San Francisco\, CA 94110 \nPlease Note \n\nSeating is limited.\nDoors open 30 minutes before the performance.\nLate seating may not be accommodated.\nPlease allow extra time for parking.\n\nAdvance tickets are available online. You are required to purchase advance tickets for this event.  \n*Due to the theatrical nature of this performance\, the show begins promptly and late seating may not be permitted.\nRSVP on Facebook & buy tickets: \n\n\nGET TICKETS\n  \n  \nABOUT THE PLAY\nRed Poppy Art House and Golden Thread Productions proudly presents ICU (I See You)\, a one-woman theatrical reading written by Leyla Modirzadeh and Domenique Lozano\, and performed by Bridgette Loriaux. \nInspired by Iran’s 2022–2023 “Women\, Life\, Freedom” movement\, ICU illuminates the events and human experiences of the uprising through the intersecting lives of five Iranian women. \nThe movement began after the death of Mahsa Amini while in the custody of Iran’s morality police\, sparking nationwide protests led by women and girls demanding dignity\, freedom\, and basic human rights. What followed was one of the most significant protest movements in modern Iranian history and a brutal crackdown by the regime. \nICU is a full-length play currently in development as part of Golden Thread’s New Threads Staged Reading Series. New Threads is Golden Thread’s annual staged reading series that engages its audience in the process of playmaking and allows writers of Middle Eastern and non-Middle Eastern descent an authentic and supportive space to develop work about the Middle East.  \nBecause the events that inspired the work continue to resonate so deeply\, the artists wanted to share the story with audiences now rather than wait for the play’s final production. Portions of the performance will be presented with scripts in hand as part of the play’s ongoing development process. \nThe title ICU operates on several levels. It references the intensive care units where injured protesters sought treatment. It declares “I see you”—the fundamental demand to be witnessed\, recognized\, and remembered. It also evokes the eye itself and the power of sight\, which became a powerful symbol throughout the movement. \nThe play begins on a hopeful morning in the midst of the Women\, Life\, Freedom protests. From there\, it follows the aftermath of a single day and night\, tracing the lives of women whose futures are forever altered by the choices they make and the events they endure. \nThrough humor\, resilience\, grief\, friendship\, and extraordinary courage\, ICU explores what it costs to demand your humanity—and what it takes to keep fighting for it. With some laughs.  \nWritten by: Leyla Modirzadeh & Domenique Lozano\nPerformed by: Bridgette Loriaux \nPresented by Red Poppy Art House and Golden Thread Productions. \nAbout Golden Thread Productions\nGolden Thread Productions is a San Francisco-based theatre company dedicated to exploring Middle Eastern cultures\, diverse perspectives\, and global immigrant experiences.
