What will you do when the rising seas destroy your home?
​
In 2019, climate scientists predicted that most of Mumbai city would be underwater by 2050. This shocking prediction should have been front page news, discussed daily on prime-time television, and every politician should have been speaking about it! Alas… it was quite the opposite.
​
Tired of waiting for political change, this performer decides to make her own back-up plans to survive the climate crisis. She cannot sit idly by as the sea takes over her city; she needs to be prepared! In a unique interactive experience, Meghana enlists the help of her audience to ensure that by the time the apocalypse comes, her plans are water-tight.
​
show duration: 80-90 minutes with no interval
language: English with some Hindi
suited for: audiences aged 16+
​
please note:
this is an interactive show, where you are invited to share your thoughts on the
climate crisis and meghana's plans to survive.
however, if you would prefer to be a silent observer, that is totally fine!
