Award-winning performance artist, theatre-maker, comedian and screenwriter Krishna Istha will present the world premiere of their new work Second Trimester at Battersea Arts Centre on Thursday, April 16 at 7:30 p.m.
When performance artist Bryony Kimmings was approached by Complicite to create a new show, the invitation came from producer Judith Dimant - who had just received a cancer diagnosis. Never one to shy away from creating art from life, Bryony asked Judith if she wanted to make a production about cancer. What followed was a baptism of fire, and an unexpected journey into the 'Kingdom of the Sick' - following patients, meeting doctors and learning from world experts. What Bryony didn't know is how far into the Kingdom she would fall.
Complicite will stage a reimagined version of A Pacifist's Guide to the War on Cancer, its collaboration with performance artist Bryony Kimmings. Kimmings will lead the company in this reworked production touring the UK before performances in Australia.
