About this Event

A Fun Play about How Scary Climate Change Is is a comedic, site-specific devised free public theater in waterfront parks across NYC about striving for hope (not despair) in the face of climate change, with fantastical swamp creatures to teach us these lessons, featuring artist Sabina Sethi Unni.


Presented as part of Amanda + James' Summer Happenings Festival: Coastlines

About the Festival:

The Summer Happenings Festival returns to the parks of New York City with its offerings of free, public performance art from Friday, June 9th to Sunday, June 18th. Curated by Amanda + James in partnership with Asia Stewart, The third iteration of Summer happenings is centered on the theme of coastlines.

Too often, many of us rush through New York City and forget that we live on a series of islands whose natural landscape has been adapted and shaped by generations of forgotten inhabitants. We neglect our land’s past: the violence that resides in soil stolen from the Lenape people (including the Wappinger, Munsee Lenape, Schaghticoke, Canarsie, Matinecock, and Lekawe nations). We look past the waterways’ paths; many brush up against terminals, docks, and piers and have been constructed for and destroyed by cycles of trade, capital, and exchange. As coastal living becomes increasingly precarious with climate change, we hope you will consider the history, value, beauty, and fragility of our brackish borders. Our presence here is not neutral.
