RARA is ballooning

After a summer of doubtful & perillious experiments, 15 proper failures and 1 half a failure, we ve done it ! RARA had made something fly !
Ben Perrot and Laure Ledard have designed and built a hot air balloon, part of a performance during the Mint Fest at the Blackstock Greehouse. With a diameter of 3.6m, the balloon lifted by the hot air of a rocket stove went almost 30 meters high before we had to take it down because of the wind. A great success for the sake of fun! The spirit of Recreation at RARA is not dead, don t let it down !
Three texts were being performed during the Launch:

Perillious trip across the Adriatic, 1804 by Fransesco Zambeccari, performed by Frank Agnew
Trapped in the Sky, 1907 by Gertrude Bacon, performed by Ludivine Baruton
Carnet de bord du 22 avril 1959 by Audoin Dollfus, performed by Guillaume Pigé
