HEDDATRON Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler in the age

HEDDATRON
Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
Written by Elizabeth Meriwether
Directed by Michael Mufson
May 3-12, 2024

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 from the mechanical grip of her captors, 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.

Please note that Heddatron contains mature language and situations, making it suitable for adult audiences.

You won't want to miss this crazy, chaotic and extremely human production. Tickets are available at the link in our bio or at palomarperforms.com
