Farhad, or The Secret of Being is a one-act documentary musical by Jim Bauer and Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Nilo Cruz. This musical meditation invites us to see the world through the eyes of Farhad, a twelve year old Afghan girl who has lived her whole life as a boy and must suddenly assume a female identity to get married. The phenomenon of these “secret girls”, or bacha posh, is quite prevalent in Afghanistan, where being a woman comes incredible pain and difficulty. Performed by students from the School of Music Theatre and Dance and produced by MOSAIC, Intercultural Performance Ensemble.
