‘My mother has recently gotten into ‘slut-shaming.’ Not doing the slut-shaming, but being very passionate about ‘slut-shaming.’ She’s been on Tik Tok a lot recently, and her algorithm is women her age, with lots of work done, filthy rich, living abroad in mansions and having incredible, andIreallydomeanincredible, bodies. AndIhatetobekindofacuntaaboutit, but honestly I think its needed here, my mother, does not look like that.’The Damage is Done is a gripping and intimate one-person performance that delves into queerness, sisterhood, and immigrant family dynamics. At its heart is Isadora, a young queer woman growing up with her sister, Kristina ‘Kris,’ in a tight-knit Italian-Australian family. When a devastating secret about Kris surfaces, Isadora makes the bold decision to come out, thinking nothing could be more scandalous. She’s wrong.
Through sharp wit, emotional vulnerability, and powerful storytelling, The Damage is Done lays bare the tangled web of identity, love, shame, and the complex truths we inherit and resist.
Deus Ex Femina has received an Adelaide Fringe Foundation Grant to present The Damage Is Done at Adelaide Fringe in 2026.
