FARID MERCURY
Written and performed by Robert Farid Karimi
Featuring guest artist Shahryar Amiri
$20/$15
Frustrated by the looming spectre of war with Iran, performance artist Robert Farid Karimi seeks out divine intervention in the form of sainted pop star Freddie Mercury. Part documentary theater, part rock concert, Farid Mercury tells the story of Iranian/Guatemalan robertito who must face the demons of the Iranian Hostage Crisis, Patriot Act, and Iran-Iraq War, all the while balancing the Chicano Punk Rock Scene, his search for a wrestling champion, and the death of his Iranian grandmother. Returning to LA brings Karimi brings his national search to Los Angeles, home to largest Iranian community in the country and discovers the Freddy Mercury inside us all.
FARID MERCURY is supported in part by cultural grants from the City of Santa Monica and the National Performance Network.
