Are we just the result of a chaotic collision of cells, or has our journey already begun before we take our first breath? The Fetus Show is an absurd, comedic exploration of birth, our baggage, and the grand cosmic joke of the interwovenness of it all. From conception, to the womb, to our coming to the world, Jessica Farber invites audiences to examine the substance of what we inherit, what we carry, what we find and what we inevitably lose and leave behind.
A surreal, irreverent take on the so-called “miracle of life,” this show dives headfirst into nature vs. nurture, destiny vs. chaos, and the eternal question - what is the meaning of it all?
“The Fetus… you are a gem, just the perfect timbre of strange.”
