Factory Theatre proudly presents Honey I’m Home, a theatrical performance that shows an unsettling look at a digital hell we all recognize while highlighting the uncomfortable things we have accepted as normal in our world. This darkly comedic performance runs at the Factory Studio Theatre from November 21st to December 1st, 2024.

Created by the award-winning multidisciplinary duo Lester Trips (Theatre)—Lauren Gillis and Alaine Hutton, Honey I’m Home offers a darkly comedic and unsettling look at a digital hell we all recognize as 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?

HONEY I’M HOME features a dense, wild sound design and vocal score from composer S. Quinn Hoodless and vocal coach Fides Krucker, evoking a charming digital hellscape, spooky atmospheric liminality, and a cosmic reckoning with the body as a temple. Innovative lighting design by Andre du Toit highlights physical performance and butoh score enhanced by movement coach Denise Fujiwara.
