The Destroyed at Concordia's Black Box Theatre, EV Pavillion

The Destroyed is a multilingual multimedia performance presented in English, Persian, and French. Inspired by Naqqli—the Iranian tradition of dramatic storytelling—the piece reimagines this form through a postmodern short story by Aboutorab Khosravi. It tells the tale of a writer who repeatedly attempts to destroy the world they create, unable to control the lives of their characters. By weaving Iranian performance traditions into a contemporary theatrical language, the project opens a space for dialogue between Montreal’s art scene and the rich legacy of Iranian theatre.
