About
Based on a true story, Second Trimester asks: how well can you ever really know your parents?
Four years ago, Krishna told his mum he was trying to get pregnant and she freaked out. Like, massively freaked out. Krishna didn’t know why. It’s rare for a fight between them to end in tears. But this one did... and for good reason.
Love triangles. Missing people. A pregnant son.
In Second Trimester, trans performance artist Krishna Istha and his mother, Geetha Shankar, confront pregnancy, loss, gender, and the weight of inherited memories in this cinematic, Bollywood-inspired epic family saga. One Stage. Two Generations. Endless Drama
This show is a part of caravan assembly, a three-day event that presents contemporary performance made in England to an audience of international programmers and collaborators.
