How do you become friends?
With strange moves and crooked turns.
The beat sets them in motion.
Will they find each other?
To the beats of Hannes d'Hoine, Femke Heijens and Marieke Dilles create a wordless world. HUGS is a playful, visual performance about loneliness, (in)tolerance and friendship.
With few words, lots of music, movement and visual language, two strangers experience the ups and downs of forming a new friendship. At first glance, the two characters have little in common, but they nevertheless engage in a game of attraction and repulsion. Their rapprochement is awkward, moving and recognisable—for both children and adults.
Making friends is not always easy. Sometimes it is awkward, sometimes we make mistakes. HUGS reminds us that this is perfectly normal—and often very funny.
The rhythmic beats of Hannes d'Hoine bring the performance to life and create an energy that carries the characters and the children along. Because little spoken language is used, HUGS is accessible to everyone, regardless of age or background.
Perfect for young children who are learning social skills.

Using a fat suit as a costume is a deliberate artistic choice. The fat suit allows the actor to transform their appearance. It creates a new body, a different character.
