Description

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 investigation itself with the unsolved murder of an Iranian pop icon at its centre. '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' ***** (Guardian, 2022 Shows of the Year).
