A Canada and Halifax Fringe premiere, The Trouble with My Hair examines gender, sexual, and racial identity through Cheng’s evolving relationship with her hair—and the stylists who helped shape it. With humor, vulnerability, and sharp cultural insight, Cheng reveals how something as simple as hair can carry the weight of family expectations, beauty standards, queerness, and personal agency. Blending theatrical storytelling with narrative art, this performance invites audiences into a deeply personal yet universally resonant journey of self-discovery and self-love.
