Daddy

By Joel Bray

Joel Bray has daddy issues. And his insatiable cravings for father figures always leave him wanting more.

Joel’s cravings are getting out of hand. He’s looking to live the sweet life, yet the sugar hits of nostalgia and fantasy are all too short-lived, and behind it all there’s a need that can never be sated.

Daddy was commissioned by the City of Melbourne through Arts House, YIRRAMBOI Festival, and the Arts Grants Program; and by Performance Space, Sydney. It was developed for YIRRAMBOI’s KIN Commissions and the Liveworks Festival 2019. Thanks to the Wiradjuri Condobolin Corporation for the recordings from the Wiradjuri Language App, based on the research of Dr Stan Grant and Dr John Rudder.

“A candy-coloured camp extravagance, which meshed the impact of colonisation with the quest for love in the Grindr era.” – ABC
