Daddy, is a participatory dance work created by exceptional Indigenous Australian choreographer Joel Bray. Both heartbreaking and hilarious, Daddy probes one of the paradoxes of our age: when so much is on offer, why are we left so hungry?

From the sugar-coated idyll of childhood reminiscence to the glazed excesses of queer adulthood, Daddy is Joel’s search for a place of belonging. It’s strange that Joel, a proud Aboriginal man, seems more comfortable in European dance-forms and images than his own traditional dance. Joel twists and contorts himself as he struggles to remember his Aboriginal father and the snippets of culture he learnt from him; histongue contorts around his tribal Wiradjuri language.
