M:otherhood Project

A trilogy of performance pieces, spanning an unknown number of years to come, mirroring Krishna’s journey into motherhood from a trans perspective.

First Trimester has been commissioned by Battersea Arts Centre, Roundhouse and Marlborough Productions. Tickets now on sale for Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Copenhagen below.

  • A 1-to-1 interactive performance piece where Krishna interviews audience members (prospective sperm donors) in a quest to find Krishna and their partner the “perfect” sperm donor. 

  • A part-documentary, part-theatre show about motherhood created and performed with Krishna’s mother when Krishna is (finally) pregnant.

  • The culmination of this hybrid multi-genre performance film/documentary will present all of the information & research that has been gathered across First and Second Trimester—legal, medical, administrative—that could act as a resource for other queer and trans people who might be looking to start families.
