About Vancouver-based, semi-retired stage clown, Barbara 'Txi' Hannah. Now in her 60s, Txi has been a stage clown for over 30 years, working all over the world with different performance groups. Oddly enough, Txi describes herself as an extremely shy person and explains how performance has helped her battle her introversion. Txi's family life has proven to be as out-of-the-ordinary as her choice of occupation; after two children and eight years of marriage, her husband came out as a homosexual. From Barbara to Txi is an exploration of a woman's perseverance through an unusual sequence of events.
