About The Believers Are But Brothers

From the postcolonial Middle East to the E.U. and U.S.A., old orders are collapsing. Tech savvy extremist groups are ripping up the rule books while a generation of young men burn with resentment and unfulfilled self-entitlement, whilst falling into online worlds of fantasy, violence, and reality. This bold show weaves together their stories.

The Islamic State is a terrorist organization with a media presence like no other. Where groups like Al Qaeda broadcasted their acts with grainy handheld video recorders, ISIS trades on a visual language that owes as much to and Call of Duty as it does the to aesthetic of other violent non-state actors. Its violence is as theatrical as its propaganda, crafted by its well resourced and staffed Ar-Raqqah Media Centre operatives in Syria.

In early 2016 Javaad Alipoor made contact with a number of young Muslims who run ISIS-supporting social media accounts, as well as young men active with the online alt right. Working with journalists and specialists, Alipoor made relationships with the curators of IS news sites and their supporters. Delving deeper, he found himself in an electronic maze of terrorists, neo fascists, fantasists, and police spies.

This play tells this story, and invites an audience into that web; to engage with the resentment, violence, and networks of power that are eating away at the structures of 20th-century liberalism and social democracy. Alipoor reframes the rise of violent and apocalyptic Islamic extremism in the crucible of an international crisis of masculinity and the toxic underground networks of the internet that it breeds. Biographies JAVAAD ALIPOOR, performer, writer, and co-director

Javaad Alipoor is a Fringe First Award-winning and Total Theatre Award -nominated artist, director, writer, and activist who regularly makes theatre with and for communities that don’t usually engage in the arts. Alipoor’s shows have been described as “Full of dark poetry and sheer analytical power” (The Scotsman) and “Bold and gut twisting” (The Stage). His projects are grounded in his political and social commitments as he strives to create work thats’s true to the cosmopolitanism and political provocations that growing up with Middle Eastern refugees and political exiles has instilled in him, tackling the big international political questions in a way that ties them to the here and now. He is a founding member of the Alliance in Support of Iranian Workers, an activist with Syria Solidarity U.K., and has contributed chapters to two books about the Arab Spring.

As associate director of Theatre in the Mill, he was responsible for mentoring and dramaturging work by working class artists and artists of color, as well as rewriting their diversity and digital strategies. He is artistic director of the Javaad Alipoor Company, which that focuses on making work with and for hard to reach Muslim and BIPOC communities.

In 2017 his play, The Believers Are But Brothers, opened at Transform Festival in Leeds before transferring for a sold-out, critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe, where it received a Scotsman Fringe First Award. The production then ran at London’s Bush Theatre before its world tour. In 2018 he directed the stage adaptation of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest for Sheffield Theatres, to mark the end of his three- year tenure as associate director at the Crucible Theatre. Last year he premiered the second part of his “digital theatre trilogy,” Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran, at The Traverse Theatre, winning a second Fringe First Award. As the COVID-19 pandemic prevented its London transfer, Alipoor and his creative team adapted the piece as an online digital experience, which has subsequently attracted widespread praise.
