Join Extinction Rebellion SF Bay as we perform XR’s version of the Evening Prayer from the opera Hansel and Gretel outside the Opera House. This event will take place between 1:30 PM and 2 PM, as the opera is presented inside by the SF Opera.
Wells Fargo is the season sponsor of the SF Opera. Wells Fargo is the largest financier of the fracking industry, and the second-largest financier of the fossil fuel industry in the world. This year the Royal Shakespeare Company in the UK is cutting its ties to their sponsor, BP, after school children threatened a boycott. A similar outcome in San Francisco would be one small step in combating climate chaos.
This is an open action. Anyone moved to participate is welcome to join us as we listen to the singers tell us about getting pushed into the oven of climate chaos.
Roles needed: lip syncers, gingerbread people, folks to hand out flyers and hold signs, and pretend opera-goers (to create buzz around the action).
Participants who want to take on one of the roles will need to report to the staging area for this event at 1 PM. If you would like to take on a role, please contact lwbdarkdeep@protonmail.com. All ages welcome!
