Description
Flood Sensor Aunty is about a flood sensor working at her aunt’s chai shop who really wants to be a movie star. Halfway between really funny public theater and community disaster prevention, this devised show is about how the best way to protect yourself from flooding, climate change, and despair is through knowing your neighbors. As part of NYC Emergency Management's National Disaster Prevention Month, we've had four free performances in chai shops and brown public spaces across Queens and Nassau County - PYO CHAI (Stewart Manor, Nassau), Qahwah House (Astoria), Lt. Frank McConnell Park (Richmond Hill), and Travers Park (Jackson Heights) - and audiences left with bellies full of (oat milk) chai, headlamps, flood alarms, zines with resources about flood protection, and laughs. Flood Sensor Aunty is directed and co-written by Sabina Sethi Unni, with a team of fifteen devisers and designers (partly performers with deep experience in movement and theater work and partly community organizers working and living in the neighborhoods we perform).
