ABOUT THE SHOW

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 love, artificial intelligence, and legacy that asks how gender, identity, and family can exist with no one to perceive them.

A dystopian pop “solo” show featuring Elena Belyea, winner of the 2023 Betty Award for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Musical. This is the third stop in the national tour of Tiny Bear Jaws’ multidisciplinary new work, I Don’t Even Miss You.
