The First Jew In Canada: The Incredible True Story Of Jacques LaFargue, The 18th Century Transgender Jewish Ancestor Youve Never Heard Of!
"absorbing, amusing...a richly textured story about two remarkable lives." - Toronto Star, Critics Pick
"skillful, deeply affecting, funny and sad and sweet and difficult and true, a 'Bear hug' of a show" - Broadway World
The First Jew in Canada: A Trans Tale is a wild journey in story, crossing oceans, religions, genders, and centuries, mapping the life of Jacques LaFargue - the trans Jewish 18th century historical figure whose very existence challenges current perceptions of transgender history and identity.
Through the lens of nine verifiable facts, this show begins with the historical records of Jacques LaFargue and overlays the personal narrative of narrator S. Bear Bergman, a Jewish transgender man whose modern life mirrors Jacquess in startling, hilarious, exhausting and illuminating ways. From daring adventure to startling truth, each fact becomes a gateway to exploring broader themes of identity, history, and the desire to be seen.
"The best solo show I have ever seen! People should rush out to see this brilliant writing, incredible performance." - Cup Of Hemlock Theatre Podcast
"Puts the 'trans' in transcendent...a solo show with a sense of heart and honesty that'll leave your cheeks wet and your chest warm." -Intermission Magazine
