I Don’t Even Miss You

From Thursday, October 31 to Sunday, November 10, 2024, Factory Theatre presents a Tiny Bear Jaws production of Elena Belyea’s new multidisciplinary dystopian pop “solo” show I Don’t Even Miss You, the second stop on its national tour.

Non-binary computer programmer Basil (they/them) wakes to a new world and devastating loss. Using live music, dance and video, I Don’t Even Miss You is a bold exploration of grief, love, artificial intelligence and legacy that asks how gender, identity and family can exist with no one to perceive them.

Creator/performer Elena Belyea is the winner of the 2023 Betty Award for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Musical.
