Team Earth vs Team Climate
The climate emergency is a global
issue with acutely local implications.
Implications of responsibility, risk and
impact. It is driven by humans digging
up and burning fossil fuels - namely
coal, oil and gas. It will be solved by
humans acting with care, compassion,
courage and hope. Cricket Green is fuelled
by the urgent need to safeguard
nature in this time of climate crisis, a new game between Team Climate and Team
Earth.
“
Artistic growth comes from working out of one's comfort zone and we relish the challenge of bringing together the worlds of sport and environment through new conversations across the globe. Showing the importance and value of nature and our cherished bond with it, we’re exploring how we positively view the environment and how/why we celebrate and enjoy it to help emphasise its beauty with the unifying sport of cricket as the vehicle.”
Balbir Singh, Artistic Director
