About P'ubelle

"One man's trash..." - classic idiom

"If everything had already been done, there would be nothing left for young people to accomplish. There are always going to be people who run faster, jump higher, dive deeper, and come up drier."
- Darrell Royal

What began as a survival tactic in an industrial age has now grown into a new way of life: resourcefulness combined with rational, efficient motion of the human body, creating the highest form of urban living.

The men and women who practice P'ubelle, both outside and inside of dumpsters, understand the importance of fair play, safety, and of sharing their findings equally. They combine athleticism with instinct, discovering all manner of uses for cast away items, and experience no fear as they charge through the dirtier parts of the city that others would sooner avoid.

This artform is not for the faint of heart. Those who practice this discipline risk infections from injuries, interactions with rats, arrest, and other unpleasant encounters. Yet the inherent dangers are also what practioners love most.

P'ubelle is about bringing the human life cycle closer to the human spirit.
