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? Commissioned by the Coventry City of Culture Trust, the Canal and River Trust, The Arches Worcester Festivals at Severn Arts and Basingstoke Festival.
