Welcome to the UPG website

Prodigal Theatre’s Urban Playground Team combines contemporary performance forms in animating public spaces. They have been studying art du deplacement (Parkour or Free Running) since 2004.

Since 2006 they have been engaged in an international collaboration with
Gravity Style; the organisation of Charles Perriere and Malik Diouf, founding members of the Yamakasi and co-creators of art du deplacement.

This ongoing collaboration creates dynamic choreographies exploring the relationship between the human body and the built environment redefining the audience’s vision of home.
