CHICKADEE

Chickadee is a one-woman show that takes us on a ride into the mind of a female street clown named Dahlia.In a world filled with suffering, she has one desire: to bring joy and connection into people’s lives.One day, she is pushed into performing in a live TV show at Chickadee Night Live and becomes famous and viral overnight as “Chickadee the Sexy Clown.”Suddenly celebrated for her sex appeal rather than her art, Dahlia’s sense of self and mental health begin to unravel. An inner war ignites between ego and soul.Chickadee offers us an entry ticket to Dahlia’s chaotic childhood, the roots of her clowning, and the struggle to navigate life with a pure heart in a world obsessed with power and appearances. A poetic clash between pop culture and the art of clowning.

★★★★ — The Reviews Hub
“The show draws you in and provides a message that builds on, and goes beyond, the Marilyn myth, asking wider questions about identity, the loss of the inner clown and the need to hang on to it in a world that expects people to conform to stereotypes and sees success more in terms of money than happiness."★★★½ — Theatre and Tonic
“Morçay holds the performance on her shoulders and manages to create a deeply human character with whom it’s easy to identify.”"Magnetising, vulnerable, and fully committed, she moves with ease between humour and heartbreak."
