Can theatre fight climate change? ‘Fever Dream’ director Meghana AT explains

“Fever Dream” is not your average climate conversation.

In this exclusive interview, director Meghana AT, founder of Tafreehwale, takes us behind the scenes of Fever Dream – a powerful absurdist satire tackling one of India’s most urgent but under-discussed crises: heat stress caused by climate change.

Presented by the Climate Culture Collective (CCC) and tafrehwale, the play explores how theatre and humour can cut through data fatigue and bring audiences face-to-face with the lived reality of a warming India.

From bizarre “Cool Pods” to painfully relatable moments of sweaty frustration, Fever Dream uses satire to make the climate crisis impossible to ignore.

Meghana AT shares her vision for using the arts to shift the climate narrative in India.
