HUG

Levantes Dance Theatre

Dance, Aerial, Theatre

“We need 4 hugs a day for survival and 12 hugs for growth.”

HUG is our new vibrant outdoor contemporary circus theatre performance and living installation that promises to engage audiences in a unique exploration of relationships – between people, objects and the environment that surrounds us. Through a fusion of aerial dance, physical theatre and striking visuals audiences are invited to rediscover the power of touch, connection and the simple act of a hug.

Bodies will fly, bend, flip, contort, suspend, climb and balance on a set resembling a giant HUG.

“Theatrical close up magic”
