We believe that street theatre is the most powerful and accessible form of theatre there is, and we are never satisfied with merely titillating the public's fancy. We take the responsibility of hijacking the audience?s imagination very seriously - we will never juggle, ride unicycles or eat fire. We will always provide original, accessible, comic events. We maintain the highest possible standards of professionalism when dealing with promoters and public alike. Our productions are suitable for all.

?Cock-tales - H?hnergeschichten" ( Hen - stories ) F?r gro?e Aufregung sorgen sechs ?berdimensionale H?hner. In pr?chtigen Federgew?ndern und mit lautem Gegackere stolzieren H?hne und Hennen durch die Menschenmenge. Stra?en und Pl?tze werden so unversehens zum H?hnerhof und Austragungsort von Hackordnung und uners?ttlichem Fre?trieb. Dabei kann man sich des Eindrucks nicht erwehren, da? hier auch menschliche Verhaltensweisen nachgeahmt werden. Zwischen und mit dem Publikum, mit und ohne Musik spielen die sechs eigenwilligen Federviecher tierisch menschliche Szenen.

Frans Custers spielt in seinen Walk-Acts ?nat?rliches Theater?: Der Kleine Clown - Lederhosen, wei?es Hemd, Fliege und Hut, Koffer in der Hand - gl?nzt durch seine Ruhe. Schweigsam beobachtet er sein Publikum. Mit einem enormen Ma? an Intensit?t bewegt er sich vorsichtig, sch?chtern. Und erlebt sehr viel... Miep ist eine B?uerin. Bekleidet mit einem gr?nen Lodenmantel und einer Tasche, ?berladen mit Gem?se, schleppt sie sich durch die Menge. Mit ihrer volumin?sen schrillen Stimme verk?ndet Miep den Leuten ihre Meinung. Und die hat sie! Frans Custers ist mit seinen verschiedenen Figuren auf Stadtfesten und Festivals genauso zu Hause wie auf Galas und Messen.

Urban Theatre Projects was founded in 1981, originally under the name Death Defying Theatre. UTP has established an international reputation for its "intimate spectacle" performance events, made in western Sydney with and about the people who live here. Many of our works are made and presented in active, populated urban locations, created and performed by the people who live, work or otherwise use the site. UTP has reinvented community-based theatre, colliding contemporary performance practice with popular culture to create new spaces for new voices. Our work is about dialogue: between people and place, artists and audience, within and between communities. We work inter-culturally, because otherwise it's a one-side conversation. Since 1991, we've been based in western Sydney. We've made thirty original new works in that time - in venues such as warehouses, railway stations, variety clubs, residential streets, theatres and shopping districts..........
