Zoo Humans
Saturday 24th Aug, 11am, 2pm & 4:30pm
A performance-parkour/dance/physical-theatre show for the whole family. Accompanied by an original electronic soundtrack by Chris Umney, featuring Sir David Attenborough’s classic narration. A response to the shocking fact that over a third of young people in the UK spend less time outdoors than its prisoners, ZOO HUMANS sees The UPG Team bring their distinctive performance-parkour and Attenborough’s smooth narrative to a group of humans on the verge of forgetting how to move. As they slowly become aware of the artificial world in which they’re living, they must decide if they’ll swap touch-screens for human contact and risk the comfort of their cage for the lure of the great outdoors. Through a unique language of dance at speed and height, they ask, what will it take to get us moving again, before it’s too late...?
