HUGS is a playful, visual performance about loneliness, (un)tolerance and friendship. Without words, but with music, movement and visual language, two strangers, who at first glance have little in in common, experience the ups and downs of forming a new friendship. Their rapprochement is uncomfortable, touching and relatable - for children and adults alike.

Because making friends is not always easy. Sometimes things go awkwardly; sometimes we make mistakes. HUGS reminds us that this is perfectly normal - and often very funny.

The rhythmic beats of Hannes d'Hoine form a third character. They bring the performance to life and create an energy that carries the characters as well as the audience.
