CastAway
T01647765506
A new, environmentally led outdoor spectacle, designed to challenge our 'Throw Away Society'.
CastAway is a response to the excessive production and use of ‘disposables' and the devastating effect they are having on our canals and waterways. Promoting debate and inquiry through a performance that combines engineering, imagination and dynamic movement, featuring a unique, fully gyroscopic flying machine. The idea for CastAway manifested as a response to the ‘Great Pacific Garbage patch'. A floating island of everlasting plastic that has now grown to 6½ times the size of the UK. With the weight of plastic now greater than the weight of humanity CastAway will engage audiences in a spectacle that promotes debate and encourages inquiry- what better time than now to take action?
