The multimedia murder mystery you've never heard of
The Javaad Alipoor Company & National Theatre of Parramatta Production

An investigation into the nature of investigation, with the unsolved murder of a pop icon at its centre. 

It’s the 1970s and Fereydoun Farrokhzad’s star is blazing bright – he’s a sex symbol and chart-topping pop singer – imagine an Iranian Tom Jones. A decade on and he’s living in political exile in Germany, though still performing to sold-out audiences in Europe. On 7 August 1992, he’s found brutally murdered. The neighbours said his dogs had been barking for two nights.

Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World is a wild ride down the rabbit hole of Wikipedia and murder mystery podcasts, sorting through the tangle of information available online in a post-colonial world to reveal the limits of search engines in solving a decades old cold case.

After its previews at Sydney Festival 2022, this riveting multimedia theatre experience returns this Summer.  

VIEW PROGRAM

Audience will need to connect to Sydney Opera House wifi as part of the show. 


A post-performance Q&A featuring Javaad Alipoor (Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World) and Joanne Kee (Executive and Creative Producer of Riverside's National Theatre of Parramatta), hosted by Festival Director, Olivia Ansell, will take place on Saturday 20 January at 5pm.

★★★★★ "Alipoor and his collaborators have the skill of turning mind-stretching ideas into theatrically thrilling performance."

– The Guardian

★★★★★ "Clever, confounding and thrilling."

– Sydney Scoop


★★★★ "Crashes through its own rules and obliterates anyone else’s."

– The Sydney Morning Herald
