A special presentation with RISER Toronto as part of RISER Edmonton 2022.
Created and produced by Tiny Bear Jaws.
Written and performed by Elena Belyea.
Directed and dramaturged by Emma Tibaldo.

Non-binary computer programmer Basil (they/them) wakes one morning to discover they are alone. They spend the next three years searching for others and build Orchid, a digital assistant, for company, until one day, when Basil meets a companion who leaves suddenly and without warning. Reeling from this loss, Basil attempts to write and record a musical that will serve as an archive of their life after they’re gone. Using live music, dance, and video, I Don’t Even Miss You is multidisciplinary exploration of love and legacy that asks how gender, identity, and friendship can exist with no one to perceive them.

“Haunting, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud funny … Combined with Belyea’s moving script and poignant performance, I Don’t Even Miss You is a moving piece of theatre that lingers with you long after its unconventional conclusion.”
-Sarah Dussome, BroadwayWorld Edmonton
