6. Summary

Hello, today I’m going to talk about a “new” that really called my attention

The notice that I chose is titled:

“Theatre in a giant Emmental powered by exercise bikes – why ever not?”

I’ts about a new play called “Cheesse” that is been played right now in Londres.

 It’s about the financial crisis seen from an absurd and sarcastic view.

This theatre company is called FanSHEn and whit this play they  want to generate conscience about the climate change , and also prove or demonstrate Alison Tickell’s declaration “sustainability has a direct impact on artwork so we don't keep the processes separate"

She also directed the play “Julie’s bicycle”.

Since 2012 FanShen Company discovered a new way to make the process of their plays. They propose themselfs to make a play in wich the used elements were carried only in public transport and bicycles.

This optimized their job and the resources.

A similar case happened with the play “Cheese”, but in the lighting, because the power budget of the play is 3kwh. They created a mechanism wich is connected to gym bicycles with the light utilized in the show. The play is powered for this. Who pedal these bikes are the public, and they “get money off their ticket to the show in return for their energy contribution”.

With this production, “doing sustainability” has a direct impact in their art work.
