Egrets, While War: Tishani Doshi Performs
About This Event
Poet, novelist and dancer Tishani Doshi performs Egrets, While War — poetry, movement and film on loss, memory, ageing and war. Adelaide Writers' Week, Banquet Room, Tue 2 Mar 2027.
Acclaimed poet, novelist and dancer Tishani Doshi brings words and movement together in Egrets, While War, a mesmerising performance inspired by her new poetry collection.
The poems navigate the deep entanglements of environmental loss, ancestral memory, the slow transformations of ageing, and the devastation of war. Doshi explores what it means to inhabit a body in a world marked by beauty, violence and change.
Combining poetry, dance and film, Egrets, While War is an immersive meditation on our fragile world — from one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary English-language poetry.
