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.

The memeification of Nicolas Cage is to be celebrated with 'Nicolas Cage in Cage', an enormous bounce house featuring the looming face of Our Glorious Leader.

Cage transcended the realms of acting to become an internet demi-god years ago, his face having had the Fibonacci sequence applied to it and been pasted onto every Game of Thrones character.

Now he is set to enter the world of soft play, the inflatable sculpture hovering inside a bouncy cage.

"People can punch Nicolas Cage, they can hug Nicolas Cage but no one will ever break Nicolas Cage. Ever" said creators Hungry Castle.

"Throughout internet history, we’ve seen Nicolas Cage lose his shit and be everyone, but we’ve never seen Nicolas Cage in a cage."

The installation will first visit music festival Splendour in Australia, where it will be conveniently situated next to the craft beer bar.

Hungry Castle previously created a giant inflatable Lionel Ritchie head and were behind the mega projector Laser Cat.

They are encouraging people to upload photos of themselves and face-swap them with Cage, paying homage to his 1997 movie Face/Off.
