"Things Hidden Since the End of the World," The Javaad Alipoor Company, On The Boards Merrill Wright Theatre, Uptown
An investigation into the nature of investigation, with the unsolved murder of a pop icon at its center.
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 was found brutally murdered. The neighbors 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.

"The Ever Expanding Moment," Common AREA Maintenance, CAM Annex, Downtown

Moving beyond news headlines that flatten perpetrators and victims alike, The Ever Expanding Moment presents both Jamahl and his killer as infinitely complex people, both in life and in death. Playwright and director Amontaine Aurore has orchestrated a gripping performance that demands its audiences to consider what true justice really looks like.
