Written and performed by Javaad Alipoor
Co-directed by Javaad Alipoor and Kirsty Housley
Javaad Alipoor presents his 2017 Scotsman Fringe First Award-winning show.
An electronic maze of fantasists, meme culture, 4chan, the alt-right and ISIS. We live in a time where old orders are collapsing: from the postcolonial nation states of the Middle East to the EU, tech savvy extremist groups rip up political certainties. A generation of young men burn with resentment.
This bold show explores the smoke and mirrors world of online extremism, anonymity and hate speech.
The Patrick Studio is easily accessible from our Thorp St entrance or from Level 3 inside the theatre.
