The play Plan B/C/D/E starts off with a discussion about climate anxiety, a term that solo performer Meghana relates to her own experience of living in a world reeling under the impact of climate change. But she has plans to offer. In a satirical, interactive, and thought-provoking piece of theatre about the climate crisis facing India’s cities, Meghana focuses on Mumbai and the sea-level rise projected to submerge the island city.
In her performance, she quietly dispels people’s delusion that climate change is what the future generations will experience and drives home our lived realities. She deftly links record breaking summers, intense and unseasonal rainfall events, and unabated pollution to climate change. Using relatable quips, modern technology, and a few solutions from history, Meghana takes her audience from being sceptical or untouched about climate change to actively seeking solutions.
