Smarter, a 20-minute solo show, follows the inner monologue of a woman who falls into the psychologically trippy hole that is the workplace. Through a sequence of intimate scenes—from toxic-polite performance reviews to sexual harassment—this show explores what it means to “perform” in a system that reduces people to tools, preys on desperation, and normalizes the fragmentation of the self. Combining humor, inner parts dialogue, and some absurd movement that involves a swivel chair, Smarter asks how far we are willing to go in capitalism, to “work smarter, not harder,” in a system that inevitably harms the most vulnerable and makes fools of us all.
