Early Warning System

Agat Sharma
Tue 21 Apr ’26 and Wed 22 Apr ’26
Can we turn our bodies into sensors that can predict earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis?
Tue 21 Apr ’26
and
Wed 22 Apr ’26

Early Warning System invites you into a strange landscape consisting of satellites, sensors, elephants and sages.

It’s where technology meets folklore. Set in the context of climate change, the performance reconstructs the human body as a sensor forecasting extreme geological and weather events.

This is juxtaposed with tan old folk talke, where an earthquake is believed to be the dance of an elephant.

The show is a journey, where we dive into emerging technology, and contrasting philosophies, challenging what we know and how we think. It is the discomfort before an epiphany.
