REAL HUGS ONLY !! MY BODY TOUCHING YOUR BODY — NOT SEX NOT KISS – ONLY HUG.
——This piece will feel like a hug (if it didn’t we don’t do refunds sorry)
Picture the scene – me, you – hugging HARD. Asking big – Big – *hug* – HARD questions.
Everybody hugs sometimes, even you – EVEN BROS HUG.
——HUG PIECE is a participatory performance for a group of strangers.
——Devised with TEAM HUG featuring : James Dolan; Jessica Panchi-Pacheco; Domna Solea; Shea Sullivan; Atlas Wu
“Do you believe in life after hug ?” - Sher
——It invites the audience into a shared dance, from the big bang, to the world's largest hug ceremony, to how the universe ends; which is both silly and sincere, cosmic and mundane, theatrical and intimate.
If you really think about it, the Big Bang is just a hug gone wrong ...
——And that was the first human.
