"Invisible Targets", the latest work of Austrian performer Timna Krenn, critically examines the treatment of pregnant bodies within the Western healthcare system, with a specific focus on the experiences of women who have endured stillbirth. The performance seamlessly integrates movement, storytelling, and objects to bring these narratives to life. 

In this devised solo performance, the narrative unfolds as the story of a grieving mother attempting to unravel the events during her hospital stay, where her child was stillborn.

This piece juxtaposes the stark realities of the medical healthcare system with the intimate journey of a bereaved mother navigating societal stigma. Informed by a report from Mothers’ Voices and the Ockenden Review, an investigation of two maternity services in England, as well as auto-ethnographic experiences, this performance examines maternity care and the taboo surrounding the topic of stillbirth.

Timna Krenn is a European performer, originally from Austria, and has a background in acting and linguistics. She successfully finished her studies in Performance: Theatre Making at the University of the Arts London and is currently residing and working in the British capital. As a performer, actress and linguist, she is driven by her hunger to question dominant narratives. Making theatre lets her open conversations about discrimination, feminism, and solidarity. Within her creative research she embraces a multidisciplinary approach through movement, spoken word and a wide variety of media.
