Mummy, Daddy & Other Issues is Núria’s autofictional journey in search of belonging and identity, in which she encounters everyday absurdities with humour and faces the monsters that shape us shape us all – whether they are called Mummy, Daddy or the Federal Employment Agency.
The search for one’s own identity and belonging is much more complex than this one-and-a-half-hour play about a Catalan actress pursuing her dream in Berlin (a unique story, we know).
In Mummy, Daddy & Other Issues, this attempt is undertaken in just 80 minutes – admittedly with uncertain success, but at least with a lot of humour. We encounter The Real Núria Frías, wavering between self-irony and the desire to finally settle down in this autofictional play. She talks about her parents, ex mother will inevitably have them with German bureaucracy.
Mummy, Daddy & Other Issues is a satirical, personal comedy about growing up between cultures, expectations and your own inner demons. And why home sometimes feels like a safe place and sometimes like a cold government office.
