THE HERDS crossed the River Thames and were welcomed by the children of the city in an early morning encounter created by Unicorn Theatre.
Later, they found their way into the heart of London, rampaging through the streets with surprise performances from some of the UK’s most acclaimed artists. Late at night, Londoners were invited to come and find the animals as they hid between the trees in one of London’s most beloved parks.
(A) trail-blazing theatre experience … raising the alarm with such immediacy that even those of us fortunate enough to live in places that have so far been relatively unaffected by the climate crisis must pay attention… This is the theatre of the Anthropocene: vast, cataclysmic, beautiful and yet ultimately hopeful as well.
Propelled by environmental purpose, lit up by delight, alarmed but determined, fashioned ingeniously, these marvellous puppet creatures illuminate the cityscapes around them: they are shots to the heart.
