Stand-up comedian, gaza man, college graduate, grieving son — these are the voices that echo throughout Pray Daddy: The Prayer, a digital freedom ritual that explores the liberatory power of embodied truth-telling and loving witness for folks of marginalized identity; the black, the poor, and the LGBTQ+.
A coming-out letter in spirit, this digital performance interrogates Amir Hall’s and his father’s experiences of conventional masculinity, challenging the bounds and permeability of gender as it operates in the Caribbean space. It is the cartography of a new man, the one unknown to us, the one that flies.
Pray Daddy: The Prayer, directed by Xoë Sazzle and collaboratively designed with Nigel Williams and Omar Jarra, with vocal training and performance by Stephanie Joseph, costume by Reuben Gonzales, styling by Suelyn Choo, and video by Elechi Todd, will be performed next on 7 November, 2020, at 7 pm AST (Trinidad)/6PM EST digitally via Twitch.
