DADDY

Young audience, 6 years +

What’s left when you lose your footing… and your child?

In Daddy, day turns everything upside down: Daddy is clueless and can’t find anything. . . not even his own child! Cardboard boxes fill the space, transforming the stage into a playground full of surprises.

On the wall are children’s drawings, each with a piece missing, like scattered memories from the past. Little by little, everything goes topsy-turvy. With humour and tenderness, the father explores the moment when the house, like his head, is turned completely upside down.

Using object theatre and masks, Puzzle Théâtre transforms everyday life into a comical and moving poetic journey, where anything can happen… and where playing is the key to rediscovering what really matters.

Company

Founded in Bulgaria and based in Montréal since 2004, Puzzle Théâtre has a unique style that draws from many different theatre genres: object, puppet, and acting theatre. Puzzle Théâtre built its reputation through a colourful combination of forms and means of expression, allowing the audience the freedom to interpret the unspoken, to freely associate ideas, and to feel what is not explicitly stated. Puzzle Théâtre performs its shows throughout Canada, as well as elsewhere in North America, Europe, and Asia.
