By Krishna Istha and Geetha Shankar
Directed by Milli Bhatia
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. Based on a true story, Second Trimester asks: how well can you ever really know your parents?
The anticipated second show in a trilogy of work, following the critically acclaimed 'First Trimester'.
This year, the Sexuality Summer School returns with the theme On the Biological. For more information about the theme, details of public events, and ticket links, visit our website: https://sexualitysummerschool.wordpress.com
