SoloDuo Residency: Showing I

// Nicolas Sanches und Irene Valesano 
GUH!!

THE HUG, a simple gesture with many sides that can greatly twist the end of a story. Inspired by chronicle stories where the hug has turned into a dagger,we wanted to explore the causes that determine its changes, how these are perceived, when we become aware of it and how it affects our being, emphasizing, with a touch of irony the dangerousness, but reminding us that since its origins it has been a symbol of care , love and affection. GUH!!! It is a battle cry, the battle of hugs versus hugs.
