School Day Performance for Grades 9-12:
Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World
Javaad Alipoor Company

School Day Performance
 

This thrilling new work explores the unsolved murder of a pop icon and challenges us to question how we consume information in a post-colonial world.

Blending together “the quiet authority of the murder mystery podcast, the intimacy of autobiographical storytelling, and the visual spectacle of multimedia performance” (The Guardian), Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World is a meditation on the life and death of Fereydoun Farrokhzad an actor, showman, and chart-topping pop singer of the 1970s whose music and television programs were heard and viewed by millions of Iranians. Living in political exile in Germany a decade later, he still performed to sold-out audiences in Europe. That changed on August 7, 1992, when he was found brutally murdered in his apartment in Bonn.

To complement this School Day Performance, our UMS Learning Guide offers additional context about the show, the artists, and theater.

Please note, this performance has a run time of 90 minutes.
