Show Description
In 1992, Iranian popstar and refugee Fereydoun Farrokhzad was found brutally murdered. The case was never solved.
This new work explores violence, digital culture and the post-colonial world. Following double Fringe First winners (The Believers Are But Brothers; Rich Kids – A History of Shopping Malls In Tehran), the final piece of Javaad Alipoor’s trilogy is an investigation into the nature of investigation itself.
“The show gleefully mashes up genres, smashing together the quiet authority of the murder mystery podcast, the intimacy of autobiographical storytelling and the visual spectacle of multimedia performance – while simultaneously deconstructing each of these forms.” The Guardian 5-stars; 2022 Shows of the Year
