Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A sci-fi extravaganza of aliens, robots and astronauts is taking place at Theatre Square this weekend, opening with a performance inspired by legendary sci-fi writer Stanislaw Lem.
The I, CULTURE Weekend, an international festival taking place across 10 cities over six months, kicks off on 1 July.
Sci-fi spectacular Planet Lem will open the festival with a bang, with a tale of aliens and cosmonauts struggling against the oppression of their techno superiors. A dark prediction of the future, Planet Lem is performed outdoors at night, making it both breathtaking and unforgettable.
I, CULTURE Weekend will also feature a Contemporary Craft Workshop, where participants can contribute to what will later become a global craft puzzle as the festival moves from city to city.
The art, music, literature and theatre festival, which will feature more than 400 worldwide events from July to December, celebrates Poland's presidency of the EU. The festival runs at Theatre Square, National Theatre, Southbank until 3 July.
