Our top pick for this week is an outdoor performance called Urban Astronaut in The Bell Square.
Physical theatre charity HighlySprung is bringing one of their outdoor performances to Hounslow High Street this Saturday.
In light of the COP26 global climate conference in Glasgow this week, Urban Astronaut deals with the issue of air pollution, through an engaging outdoor theatre experience.
Combining stunning design, unseen before aerial performance (using a unique travelling flying machine that suspends the performer 20ft in the air) with simple story telling and moving dance performance, Urban Astronaut travels through towns and cities searching for a solution to the environmental disaster that is present in our near future.
Is there any way back? What can the Urban Astronaut learn from audiences now that might change his future?
Director of the production, Sarah Worth said: "My inspiration was the fact that around 6 million people a year are dying because of air pollution, and that's not good enough.
"It's also about using the arts to inspire awareness and debate and give a platform to that debate."
Bell Square has previously showed the giant flag that came to Hounslow, made up of faces of people from around the world, entitled We Are Watching, which aimed to remind world leaders that we are watching them, as they make decisions that will decide our futures.

The event will take place this Saturday, 6 November, at 1pm and 3pm at the Bell Square, Hounslow High Street, TW3 3HH.
Each performance will last 30 minutes.
