Things Hidden Since The Foundation of The World

19 — 21 Jan 2024

AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE at SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE
Co-produced by National Theatre of Parramatta and The Javaad Alipoor Company
Presented by National Theatre of Parramatta and Sydney Festival

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

– The Guardian
