Humans have been playing since the dawn of our existence but have we ever asked ourselves why we have the urge to run, jump, surf, wrestle, dive or chase a moving ball, individually or in a team? Where does this urge to play come from?
Human Playground focuses on specific, universal themes within a collection of the most intriguing, extreme and primal ways humans use play to express themselves. Historically, sport has been a form of entertainment, celebration and honour, but it has also been used to resolve conflicts within communities. It is an important connective element that binds people together regardless of social background, race, gender or belief. Human Playground gives insight into why we feel the need to play and the many ways in which we do.
Play has evolved from our fight for survival. We play anywhere; on sand, snow, soil, water, and tarmac. And on these playgrounds, we reveal our inner selves - our joy, our shame, our glory, and our pain. If we didn't play, we would not be who we are today.
Our stories creatively explore the many fascinating ways humans experience play in the form of ancient rituals, rites of passage, big business, pain, perfection, and sacredness. Human Playground gives you a glimpse into the world's most phenomenal playgrounds, the people who engage in the games, and the extremes they're willing to go to.
Human Playground is not just about sports; it's about what makes us human.
