About this Event

Making its World Premiere, Homunculus, adapted from the play by Santiago Mallan, collapses the boundary between theater and cinema in a darkly-comedic, surreal exploration of love, ego, and artistic obsession. In his directorial debut, Owen Kibby skillfully drops us into the volatile orbit of Mimi and Clay’s toxic romance, where Mimi has commissioned her devoted assistant, Bootbutt, for a sculpture of her ex, sparking a spiral of romantic misfires, mistaken identity, occult detours, and a wry meditation on the act of creation.


Directed by Owen Kibby. Written by Santiago Mallan and Owen Kibby. Starring Mitra Jouhari, Ruby McCollister, Jeremy Gill, Aitana Doyle and Jake Innerst.


Cast and crew in attendance for Q&A to follow.

Doors open 30 minutes before scheduled screening time.
