The Sustainable Travel Agency
Event Information
By Jenny Gaskell
Co-presented by Cambridge Zero and Cambridge Junction, as part of Cambridge Festival.
The Sustainable Travel Agency is a participatory audio performance featuring mini holidays, mocktails, a red blazer and warm reassuring smiles.
When was the last time you had a break? I think we could all do with one. Between the cost-of living crisis, global politics and the environmental apocalypse, it feels like we’ve got a lot on at the moment. Just a lot of pressure to do the right thing, be responsible, don’t make a mess. It’s enough to make anyone anxious.
A few years ago Jeff Bezos went on mini holiday of his own. He went all the way into space and back down again in a purpose built rocket, for 11 minutes, with a reported price ticket of five and a half billion dollars of his own money.
All of this is to say, sit down would you. Give yourself a moment, I think you deserve a rest. Even if it’s just for 11 minutes.

1. Luxury Escape: “The Personal Touch” (contains swearing)
2. Beach Excursion: “Lying in the Heat”
3. Train Adventure: “The Global Express”
