Requiem for a Dead Planet at Daily Mail
Northcliffe House, London. Fri 19 Jul 2019
It was still raining when I arrived to watch the 'Requiem for a Dead
Planet' setting up in front of Northcliffe House
but the area in front of the entrance was out of the rain, so the
skeleton could read the Daily Mail's climate lies
and there was a gazebo for XRBaroque to perform under. They began
with Purcell's 'The Fairy Queen'
performed by an oboist, four violins, double bass and cello.
'Mothers Don't Like to Be Taken for Granted ' - with a picture of
the Earth
Women hand out fliers to those entering or leaving the building, calling
on those working for the papers produced
there to stop telling lies about climate change and to tell the truth.
