Emoji: The Hieroglyphs of Our Time, or how I learned to stop worrying and send the risky text

About:

A sell-out at the NYC Fringe Festival 2025. Part love letter, part stand-up set, part concert, and part iPhone advert (jk!), the show explores whether emoji are a uniquely universal shorthand or merely digital crumbs of connection in a fractured society. In this hilarious, heartfelt, ADHD-friendly show packed with energetic musical numbers, sparkling visuals, and audience participation, Aarushi Agni delivers a chaotic TED Talk/musical about emoji and risky text ¯\(ツ)/¯ blending sharp comedy, cultural insight, and impressive vocal dynamism.

Created and performed by | Aarushi Agni

Music production by | Paulson John
Directed by | Dominique Nisperos
