[hug] is a choreographic study for twenty bodies about the aftermath of something. Above all, it's an encounter after a blackout. In a time that seems to come after the collapse, but which is neither future nor past. As if time were linear - which it isn't.

At the center, human bodies and more than human bodies, as a field of ruin and reconstruction. Bodies as a political frontier, as a place of resistance, as an act of affection. Each gesture is a residue, a shock, an echo of what remained or what never was.

[hug] proposes an embrace as strength and fissure. An embrace that sustains and suffocates, that insists until it fails, that won't let go. An embrace that is also a symbolic battlefield where power relations, the desire to belong and the possibility of transformation are inscribed.

Each body brings its own urgency, and the movement continues until exhaustion, creating suspensions, layers of attention, small deaths. We work in the fold between the intimate and the political, between the concrete and the abstract, between the visible and the intuited.

[hug] doesn't try to be new. It tries to dig. It points to what is invisible and so present.

It's a raw choreography, made up of layers that fall apart, with time and silence, with ambiguity and breathing. A work that refuses to put on a show, a persistent gesture, a body that won't let go.
