About The Perverse(play)
Now playing at Qncc, *The Perverse* is an electronic, DJ-driven performance featuring Borna Barzin, built around darker textures and forward-looking themes. Its structure leans on sampled fragments and club-era rhythms set against firmer song-like shapes, a hybrid that keeps the set grounded even as it turns abrasive. There is no documented NYC premiere history available, but it sits in a local lineage where rock’s machinery and dance music’s pulse have long shared the same rooms. One clear choice stands out: the work treats the future less as fantasy than as pressure.
