The Damage Is Done

Step into a world where family ties, cultural heritage, and queer identity collide in this intimate solo theatre experience. Set in the heart of an Italian-Australian household, this performance gently unravels the tangled threads of sisterhood, inherited silence, and the courage it takes to speak your truth.

With warmth, wit, and a generous dose of vulnerability, the performer invites you into their lived experience — exploring what it means to be both deeply rooted and quietly defiant. The space between generations, between tradition and self-discovery, becomes a stage for raw honesty and resonant laughter.

This isn’t just a show — it’s a conversation. One that acknowledges the complexities of identity, the weight of unspoken histories, and the power of choosing your own narrative. Perfect for anyone who’s ever felt caught between worlds, or who believes that healing begins with storytelling.
