Outdoor happening
Whales
[none]
In an all-ages community event, members of the public work together to help a stranded pod back to the sea.
A pod of whales emerges from the central city …They are slow and majestic but also playful, diving and splashing together along the pavement, past cafes, across pedestrian crossings, all the while singing their whale song. They are trying to get back to the ocean, but before they can, they strand near the water's edge. For them to get safely into the sea, they need the humans to pull together, to keep them cool and keep their spirits up until they can be refloated. Can you lend a hand?
