| Description | This innovative production reimagines Henrik Ibsen’s timeless classic, Hedda Gabler, through the lens of artificial intelligence, promising audiences a wild journey into the realms of absurdity and intrigue. Under the direction of Michael Mufson, Heddatron transports viewers into a world where the lines between humanity and technology blur.
Jane Gordon, a pregnant housewife, is abducted by robots, taken to the rainforest, and thrust into an unexpected role: performing “Hedda Gabler” with her mechanical captors. Meanwhile Nugget, her ten-year-old child, with the aid of their milquetoast father, an eager documentary filmmaker and their 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. |
