AERIAL THEATRE AT KENSINGTON-CHELSEA FESTIVAL, LONDON, AUG 19

First time I saw anything like an Aerial Theatre that combines Gyroscopy, Circus, and Acting to convey a powerful message. It is about the challenge posed by plastic, and how plastic has formed an ISLAND PATCH in the Pacific ocean. The performance is named High Sprung Cast Away.

Let me quote the organisers: "CastAway responds to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch – a floating island of everlasting plastic that has now grown to 6½ times the size of the UK. It presents an alternative, sustainable and more compassionate way of being and challenges us to consider our own actions in the face of climate change.

Drowning under a crushing mass of plastic, the Keeper of the Waterways awakens and rises up... The all - female cast immerses audiences in an underwater world where performers dive, twist and float over 26 feet in the air to delight, inspire and captivate audiences of all ages.
