Fatherload

David Labi / MARTHA!TENTATIEF • Professional company

75 minutes•Studio
David Labi spent years of his life chasing cheap thrills across the globe. Now, David is sober, stuck and staring down his greatest challenge. A baby. And it's his. Amid flying couscous and jets of vomit, David faces the big questions: how do you raise a child while still growing up yourself? How can you break cycles of intergenerational trauma? And what happens if you snort lines of formula milk? Hilarious, moving and brutally honest, Fatherload is a look at modern fatherhood – from a man hoping his baby will inherit more than his mistakes.
