Early Warning System is a speculative performance that reconstructs the human body as a cutting edge sensor capable of monitoring and predicting extreme geological and weather events.  

We are living in a time defined by extreme weather. As the planet changes, this performance imagines how humans might adapt by turning our own bodies into early warning systems for climate disasters.

During the show, you are introduced to a speculative technology that transforms living beings into sensors and links them into one global “hyper-animal,” whose movements can be read to forecast natural disasters. Through a science-education style program, we witness a live demonstration, learn about its origins, including early experiments with elephants in South Asia, and explore how it works today.

By the end, the audience is invited to join this imagined revolution and enhance their bodies with the ability to sense and predict the next catastrophe.

We become the early warning system.
