Daddy
, 2023Daddy tells the story of 13-year-old Mara. She lives in the countryside, in a family where money problems are daily, suffocating. So she dreams of living the life of the stars and influencers she sees on the networks. She escapes by playing video games, these role plays where dozens of players meet online. The avatar she has chosen falls on that of an older man, who drags her into another game, “Daddy”. He lavishes her with skills (the winnings or gifts of these games), on condition that she submits to increasingly troubled tests… On the stage of “Daddy”, real life fades away in favor of a digital reality where everything can be bought and exchanged.
Marion Siéfert likes to find theater where we don’t necessarily see it: to tell the story of our increasingly virtual existences, she trusts the stage, its long history with identity games, and creates a vertiginous world, in which it is difficult to distinguish what is real from what is not.
