HUG by Levantes Dance Theatre

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

HUG is a 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, the audience is invited to rediscover the power of touch,connection and the simple act of a hug.

HUG: a reminder of our shared humanity and the power of touch to heal, uplift and inspire.
