Hugs | 4+

He likes to sit on his couch. She only has her dog. He and she challenge each other. Are they getting closer to each other? Without words, but with music, movement and imagery, two strangers seek rapprochement. HUGS is a playful, visual and wordless performance about loneliness, (un)tolerance and friendship.

Two strangers, who at first glance have little in common, experience the ups and downs of making a new friendship. Making friends is not always easy. Sometimes it goes awkwardly, sometimes we make mistakes. HUGS reminds us that this is perfectly normal - and often very funny.
