Group Hug

2017
Composer/Sound Design

Produced by TINCRATE/Imaginate
Presented at Edinburgh International Children’s Festival at the National Museum of Scotland

“What is the longest hug you’ve ever had?

Group Hug is an intergenerational performance that gently invites the audience to stop, watch, listen and maybe even join in.

Celebrating human connection, the work explores loneliness, intimacy and the joy of being part of something bigger than yourself.

Group Hug was first imagined as part of the PUSH (over)protection Lab in Belgium, in response to thinking about taking risks, creating connections, public space and touch.
