Artists and dancers perform protest musical against BP’s sponsorship of the Scottish Ballet
BP or Not BP activists protest against the Scottish Ballet's sponsorship deal with fossil fuel firm BP outside the Theatre Royal in Glasgow
DOZENS of artists, dancers and performers took to the streets of Glasgow today to perform a surprise musical challenging BP’s sponsorship of the Scottish Ballet.
The action, organised by theatre group BP or Not BP? as well as New York’s Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir, saw activists gather outside the Theatre Royal in the city centre.
The performers are calling on the Scottish Ballet to stop promoting BP, which is notorious for lobbying governments to slow down climate action.
