SUMMARY:I want to call you Daddy
DESCRIPTION:I Want to Call You Daddy – a theatrical play by Marcé Underwood \nI Want to Call You Daddy is a stirring one-woman performance that fuses poetry\, storytelling\, song\, and movement to explore single motherhood in post-apartheid South Africa. Beginning with the raw moment of childbirth\, the story follows a mother’s emotional journey through milestones like her daughter’s first school day\, the challenges of maintenance court\, and the quiet ache of a child’s unanswered questions. \nChallenging stereotypes\, the play confronts the often-overlooked reality of white paternal absence and asks\, through searing spoken word and haunting Holocaust echoes: How do those shaped by historical trauma repeat cycles of abandonment? \nThis is not only a story of pain\, but one of resilience\, where art becomes survival. Neither a Cape Flats cliché nor a tale of privilege\, the piece offers space for complex\, marginalised narratives. At its heart is a child’s plea and a mother’s transformative love—a powerful reminder of the strength that remains when all else fails. \nA haunting\, genre-defying work that will stay with you long after the final bow. \nDuration: 90min; including interval\nAge Restriction: No under 6 years \n \nKindly note Artscape provides wheelchair seating. You can book directly via this website but should you require assistance please call Artscape Dial-a-Seat on 021 421 76 95 who will assist with navigation and booking.
