In this provocation, the authors argue that nothing is rehearsed in dealing with climate disasters in the Philippines. People at the centre of climate disasters do not have time to rehearse; every enactment of resistance is improvisational from surviving climate emergencies. As theatre practitioners and poets of Sirang Theatre Ensemble, we conceptualise a theoretical intervention we call, torrential ontology that informs our ethics and politics in confronting climate justice. This ontology is informed by ancestral knowledge, rooted in social and political advocacies within a historical context, and shaped by our embodied and lived experiences with disasters, and other forms of turbulences.
