First Trimester – Melbourne Fringe Festival

Bold, funny, and deeply human, First Trimester follows London-based performance artist Krishna Istha on a heartfelt search for the “perfect” sperm donor. Through intimate, unscripted interviews with hundreds of volunteers, Krishna explores what truly matters in creating family, challenging expectations of parenthood and connection.

This Australian premiere invites audiences to laugh, reflect, and even participate as Krishna poses questions that range from playful to profound: “Did you grow up with pets?” … “What do you value more, kindness or intelligence?” … and yes, “Have you watched The Princess Diaries?”

With relaxed, sensory-friendly performances and opportunities for audience involvement, First Trimester is an inclusive, moving experience redefining what family can look like.
