In a world where AI automates already dull jobs to the point of mind-crushing boredom, why not just dissociate? Especially when it’s covered by your Upgraded Wellness Package!

HONEY I’M HOME offers a darkly comedic and unsettling look at a digital hell we all recognize: 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?

An ordinary workaholic, Janine, uploads her consciousness into her home to escape her raging boredom at work. But when slow Wi-Fi leads to a shocking revelation, her excruciatingly mundane existence spirals into a nightmarish body horror mystery.

Combining physical theatre and sharp humour, HONEY I’M HOME invites audiences to confront the absurdities of modern life in a world increasingly dominated by technology.

The Painted Lady, 218 Ossington Ave.

Written by Coleen Shirin MacPherson and developed by Open Heart Surgery Theatre with a star-cast and creative team, Erased draws us into a greeting card factory in a post-climate collapse world, where workers are forced to meet a quota, making ridiculous greeting cards while trying to survive within the machinery that controls and erases them. This 11-cast-member physical theatre piece speaks to our addiction to production in late-capitalism and is a call to look deeper into the state of our planet and the structures that have entrapped us.

A surreal marriage of absurdism, dark comedy, political theatre and poetry, Erased explores how the kindling of a soft revolution turns to flame, igniting the spirit of resistance that keeps it alive.

Theatre Passe Muraille, 16 Ryerson Ave.

Experience a sonic celebration of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan — one of qawwali’s most enduring figures in an evening where ancient spirituality meets modern musical innovation.

Join us in the Nanji Family Foundation Auditorium as the Mekaal Hasan Band revisits Night Song — the iconic album by qawwali legend Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Canadian producer Michael Brook. Nearly two decades later, this album is revered as a milestone in global music, introducing the spiritual depth of qawwali to an international audience upon its release in 1996.

Honouring its lasting impact and cross-cultural resonance, this project reimagines seven of the album’s tracks, blending elements of jazz, rock, and world music to create a dialogue between traditional devotional music and modern sound design. Experience the mesmerizing vocals of distinguished qawwali musician Shahzad Ali Khan performing alongside local guest artists, each musician brings their diverse cultural heritage, contributing unique musical perspectives to the project.
