“What’s close enough, but not really the real thing, but sometimes exactly what you need?” - Björk, probably.
Have you ever found yourself sat in a train station, watching people zone out during a hug?
Have you ever thought about what it might feel to be held without having to give anything in return?
Have you ever saw a video from the instagram account - A view, from a bridge* and thought to yourself, why not do this live?
If so, HUG PIECE is the perfect show for you!
HUG PIECE is a collective experience about the often overlooked social phenomenon - HUGS.
An audience member is invited to join Carla for a hug, they come to the middle, we hug, one microphone on each side, and the possibilities are endless.
You (audience member) are invited to join Carla for a hug on stage. Both speaking into a microphone, we can talk about anything in life, from breakfast, to the last time you hugged your mother - or we might not speak at all, and simply stay in the collective silence of an embrace.
This is a space for everyone, to chat, to observe, to listen, to reflect, and to embrace.
*Not to be confused with the Miller play A View From The Bridge, @aview.fromabridge is an instagram accounts that conducts interview of people talking to themselves on a bridge, with video and audio that does not sync to each other.
“It means so much to be working at CPT, it’s such a good opportunity to work in a professional environment at my age. I didn’t think that was ever going to happen and it means the world to me. It’s really going to help prepare me for my future and where I want to go”
