HEDDATRON By Elizabeth Meriwether Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler in the age of Artificial Intelligence May 3 – 12, 2024, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday at 2:30 p.m. (ST) A wildly creative, absurd and surprising reinvention of Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler. Jane Gordon, a pregnant housewife, is abducted by robots, taken to the rainforest, and forced to perform Hedda Gabler by her robot captors. Meanwhile Nugget, her ten-year-old daughter, with the aid of her milquetoast father, an eager documentary filmmaker and her small arms dealing uncle must rescue Jane – whether she wants to be saved or not. As we approach the AI singularity, Heddatron constructs a bizarre and strangely familiar world of reality TV and rocket launchers where everyone, artificial or otherwise, just wants to feel a little bit human.
