We teamed up with acclaimed stage designer takis and renowned theatre company ice and fire – known for their use of performance to explore human rights issues – to present a brand new theatrical experience: part stage performance, part fashion show, part interactive educational exposition, and all in the name of raising public awareness of the significant role HM Government and the British Arms Trade play in #ArmingTheWorld.
From a Euro Fighter Typhoon Jet (as seen regularly in the ongoing conflict in Yemen), to a can of CS Spray (tear gas), the outreach team introduced the very best in British-made weapons via the world’s first Weapons Catwalk Show, demonstrating to you, our taxpaying audience that with your help, ‘The sun never sets on the British arms trade’.
#ArmingTheWorld can be found on-line on Twitter: @ArmingTheWorld, Instagram: ArmingTheWorld and Facebook: @ArmingTheWorld and a dedicated website.
