International Market
Highly Sprung: Urban Astronaut
The city’s Market Place will be filled once again with a fantastic array of stalls offering produce from across the globe, offering food to eat there and then, or to take home.
Suspended 20 feet in the air on a unique travelling flying machine, an urban astronaut travels through towns and cities searching for a solution to the environmental disaster that is in the near future. What can he learn that might change our future?
