An internationally-renowned interactive street theatre spectacle called “The Whale” appears on Majuba beach at Redcar in a statement about the environment and climate change on May 22, 2022 in Redcar, England. The whale has been created by Belgium-based artistic group, The Captain Boomer Collective in cooperation with sculptors from Zephyr Wildlife reproductions. Captain Boomer creates location-based shows that explore the boundaries between reality and fiction. The event involves a life-size, hyper-real statue of a sperm whale which is found washed up on a beach in Redcar. As part of the spectacle, a team of performers acting as scientists run tests for three days to find out why it happened. The organisers hope the installation will help Redcar be further recognised as a place where communities explore the opportunity to see and engage in a quality cultural offer that challenges and stimulates discussion about wider agendas such as climate change.
