In an interactive digital presentation – part onscreen, and partly in your hand on mobile.
While the majority of Iranians live under an oppressive dictatorship, the children of the country’s elite live out their excessive and extravagant lifestyles on social media. Come and dive into a world of drug-fuelled parties, fast cars, and hyper-consumerism.
Like any late-night internet binge, we start by scrolling through Instagram, but before we know it, we are taken on a whirlwind journey from revolution, to imperialism, to the entropy of the universe. It is darkly comedic and deeply revealing.
Winner of the 2019 Scotsman Fringe First Award, Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran is Javaad Alipoor’s unique digital storytelling at its best.
