Eco-activists disrupted a performance with the participation of the star of the Alien films
Members of the Just Stop Oil movement have decided to remind everyone of themselves once again. Last time, they desecrated the grave of Charles Darwin.
Eco-activists from the Just Stop Oil movement disrupted a Shakespearean play, The Tempest, in which the leading role was played by actress Sigourney Weaver, known from the Alien film series.
The incident took place at London's Drury Lane Theatre on Sunday evening. The eco-activists, who had been hiding backstage, waited for Weaver to say the word "appear", after which they jumped onto the stage, released confetti and unfurled an orange banner with the inscription "More than 1.5 degrees Celsius is a global shipwreck."
The inscription on the eco-activists' banner is a reference to a recent study by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), according to which 2024 was the hottest year on record, with the average temperature on Earth exceeding pre-industrial levels by one and a half degrees Celsius.
The video shows that after the eco-activists appeared on stage, the theater staff rushed to take Sigourney Weaver backstage. After which, an announcement was made in the oldest British theater, continuously operating since 1812, that the performance had to be stopped. No information was provided about the punishment for the violators.
Recall that in mid-January, Just Stop Oil activists desecrated the grave of Charles Darwin in Westminster Abbey. They wrote on the scientist's tombstone with approximately the same inscription about the notorious one and a half degrees Celsius.
According to British media, 20 Just Stop Oil activists are currently in prison. Among them, for example, are Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland, who in 2022 poured tomato soup on Vincent van Gogh's painting "Sunflowers" in London's National Gallery. Plummer was sentenced to two years in prison, Holland to 20 months. They denied their guilt at the trial.
