Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World

All performances of ‘Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World’ are Pay What You Can.

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’ is a thrilling 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 the search engines in solving a decades old cold case.
