HUGS - Embracing Consent, Connection & Care | performance snippets

premiere 12.09.2025

performances 13. & 14.09.2025 at Goose, Frankfurt am Main

HUGS is an interconnected trio exploring the act of hugging as a space of empathy, negotiation, and transformation. Three dancers remain in an ongoing embrace — a choreography of tension and tenderness, care and resistance. In this quiet yet charged physical dialogue, closeness meets boundary, and intimacy unfolds in all its contradictions. HUGS invites audiences into a soft, reflective encounter around consent, connection, and shared presence and asks the question: Where does closeness end, and where do boundaries begin?
