Starving without touch. Sated by too much closeness. SKIN HUNGER explores our sometimes paradoxical human relationship to physical contact - too much, too little, never enough.
The interplay between two dancers creates a vibrating web of attraction and repulsion, of contact and emptiness. Interactive objects made of e-textile technology stretch the body space, creating invisible threads between movement and material and transforming the stage into a breathing, sensitively reacting field.
SKIN HUNGER is an invitation to explore the complexity and fragility of closeness and asks how connection can arise, even where touch is absent or boundaries are set. The audience becomes part of this immersive experience and can feel and question their own relationship to their skin - as a barrier, resonance surface and contact surface to the outside world - in a new way.
