Synopsis
In a world where AI automates already dull jobs to the point of mind-crushing boredom, why not just dissociate? Especially when it’s covered by your Upgraded Wellness Package!
HONEY I’M HOME offers a darkly comedic and unsettling look at a digital hell we all recognize: glorified zoom-room torture chambers masquerading as a utopian solution to having a body. This sly, surreal production poses the question: what do we do when artificial intelligence takes over our jobs, but our physical bodies still have to show up?
An ordinary workaholic, Janine, uploads her consciousness into her home to escape her raging boredom at work. But when slow Wi-Fi leads to a shocking revelation, her excruciatingly mundane existence spirals into a nightmarish body horror mystery.
Combining physical theatre and sharp humour, HONEY I’M HOME invites audiences to confront the absurdities of modern life in a world increasingly dominated by technology (factorytheatre.ca)
