Daddy’s Issues

Arts Court Theatre

Daddy’s Issues is a bilingual play that explores the grief of losing a parent who is still alive. While moving into her new apartment, Anaïs discovers her father’s old phone hidden in one of the boxes. Through a narrative that weaves between monologue and scenes between two lovers, the circumstances of Anaïs’s father’s disappearance become increasingly clear—and complicated! With one foot in her childhood and the other stuck in an iPhone 4, Anaïs will have to mend the fractures of her past to finally feel whole. This play is a love letter to those who choose to stay, to the complexity of trans girl motherhood, but above all, it is a love letter to the deep fractures of childhoods that end too soon.

Téton Tardif

Arts Court Theatre

Presented as a solo-performance, a woman is afraid to give birth to a daughter. She questions the origins of this fear—how does one become a woman? She remembers her breasts at the age of 11. 

The desire for breasts and their absence, the models of femininity in magazines, on TV, in society, crystallize this belief. She then takes us on a journey with her. This quest for breasts becomes an excuse to dive into the cultural imagination, all the things we ingest without realizing it, which reveal a lot about the society in which we grow up and influence even our intimacy, our relationship to the body, to sexuality, and to others.

Between stand-up and theatrical drama, the text breaks the fourth wall and aims to be direct and authentic.
