A play by Milo Sharafeddine
Haze is anxious. After his friend implies that he hops from persona to persona, he feels that he is failing. He wants so badly to feel at home in his own self, but it seems to be too far out of his reach. In a moment of distress, he is suddenly made aware of a presence in his house. Difficult to comprehend, impossible to catch, but incredibly comfortable. He is desperate to embody it and its indifference to definition. How to Become a House follows Haze’s journey as he comes to terms with the fleeting and multitudinous nature of the self.
