Early 2005, a benefit event in aid of the tsunami disaster was organised in various venues around Nottingham. Two local artists made Geisha-like costumes and performed an interactive theatre piece on the streets, trying to get the public to interact with the costumes and the "wish fishes" to engage with the issues related to the disaster. Afterwards, the costumes were altered and used as an interactive way of engaging with people on the issues of debt, poverty and climate change as the Summit of the G8 was approaching.
