First, a hand. Then another. A shoulder. A glance. An embrace. From these small gestures, five acrobats build a choreography of everyday touches that usually disappear within seconds. Here, step by step, they grow into breathtaking acrobatic movement.<\/p>\n
The artists lift, turn and support one another, gradually drawing the audience into the action. Who wants a hug, and who would rather have a handshake? The boundary between stage and audience slowly begins to blur, and being together becomes the driving force of the performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cHugs & Handshakes\u201d is a warm and playful performance about the body as a form of conversation and about a greeting that suddenly becomes an event.<\/p>\n
