The Urban Astronaut - Leicester City Festival

The Urban Astronaut landed in Leicester City Center as part of the city festival 2017. The dramatic performance explores the environmental issue of air pollution, one of the most serious problems affecting the environment today. The astronaut performs spins and jumps suspended up to 20ft in the air giving the appearance of weightlessness. A traveler from a future version of earth, which has been destroyed and made inhospitable through air pollution he has returned to the past to find an answer to a future crisis. My film joins the astronaut as he travels through the City center passing the clock tower (a well known Leicester landmark) before arriving on Humberstone gate where he may find an answer to his crisis.
