Parkour, the urban extreme sport that is characterized by acrobatic and choreographed motions, can easily connect to performing art in the broadest sense, theatre or dance. And since the street is its natural medium, viewers are bound to get involved – perhaps even as participants. You are the Flow is a multidisciplinary production, as well as a jam, that relies on the viewer’s active participation.

The programme speaks to both sportsmen and the audience of contemporary art, and hopes to move each group out of its comfort zone.

The performance is deeply intended to serve evoking the so-called flow-experience with the tools and community structure of contemporary dance. 

The participants and the audience experience together the naturally generated, very free and intense state of mind which set free inner boundaries together. You are the Flow is based on the participation of the audience, and in the end the performance ends up in a party and a common jam. The show itself is 40 minutes long followed by a jam and party ideally for 120 minutes (optionally it can be shorter or longer).

You are the Flow was premiered on 17th October 2020, at skatepark of Boráros square in Budapest, The premiere was realized in the frame of CAFe Budapest Contemporary Arts Festival presented by Budapest Festival and Tourism Center, Flying Bodies and Collective Dope.
