A preview of the live art comedy film about fetal illness from Hannah Ballou.

In 2016, Hannah Ballou made goo:ga, a feminist live art comedy show when she was 8 months pregnant with her first kid. Five years later, Ballou is expecting her second child. The biological process is the same, but everything else could not be more different; her 5-year-old wants in on the action, one co-star is in an urn, she’s haunted by the ghosts of miscarriages past, and honestly she just cannot get as worked up about kid number two. This sequel has fun with the impossibility of re-performing old work even though you really should try to give your second child everything you gave your first. And then she finds out this baby has more to worry about than the gender binary...

About the artist:
Dr. Hannah Ballou's work is feminist, sometimes autobiographical, and challenges configurations of the comic body by asking who is funny, when, how, why, and why not? She is known to work with live animals and sleeping children. She once found out she was pregnant live on stage. She is the force behind Marina Abramopug and neo-burlesque alter-ego Lambchop Magoo. She is a lecturer at Kingston University, London. Learn more at hannahballou.com
