Info
From the Jury report:
"Hugs & Handshakes is a fleeting utopia of connection and equality you didn't expect and never want to leave."
Hugs & Handshakes is an acrobatic choreography inspired by everyday encounters. How can hugs, a simple pat on the shoulder, or a firm handshake be transformed into spectacular acrobatics? Everyday touches serve as the starting point for an acrobatic choreography, where small gestures unfold into grand movements. And the audience gets to join in. Would you like a hug or rather a handshake? The boundaries between performers and audience gradually blur. Spontaneous duets emerge. Or is everything not quite as it seems?

Reviews
“THERE THERE Company deconstrueert en desacraliseert de hele geschiedenis van de acrobatie, om er des te straffer de oerkracht van te helpen doorvoelen.”
