The Believers are but Brothers
Writer and theatre maker Javaad Alipoor presents his multi award-winning show exploring the smoke-and-mirrors world of online extremism, anonymity and hate speech.
We live in a time where old orders are collapsing, from the post-colonial nation states of the Middle East, to the EU and the American election.
Through it all, tech-savvy and extremist groups rip through 20th-century political certainties.
is needed now More than ever
Amidst this, a generation of young men find themselves burning with resentment; without the money, power and sex they think they deserve. This crisis of masculinity leads them into an online world of fantasy, violence and reality.
Javaad Alipoor spent time in this digital realm, exploring the blurry and complex world of extremists, spies, journalists and fantasists. This bold one-man show weaves together their stories.
Apr 23-27, 8.15pm, £12. Ages 16+. Run time 70 mins. For more info, visit www.tobaccofactorytheatres.com/shows/the-believers-are-but-brothers
