The importance of human touch and what a hug can do
HUG is a vibrant outdoor contemporary circus theatre performance and living installation exploring the relationships between people, objects and the environment that surrounds us.
Through a fusion of aerial dance, physical theatre and striking visuals, the audience is invited to rediscover the power of touch, connection and the simple act of a hug.
