Johanna Nuutinen +Collaborators: Skin Hunger

Visceral and hypnotic, Skin Hunger explores the grounding force of tactile human experience – the sense of touch.

The largest exterior interface of the nervous system, skin remains the site of our most tender and most brutal impulses. As we emerge from the radical sensory-deprivation of a global pandemic especially, the tactile takes on extra resonance: physical proximities become at once more vulnerable, more luminous.

Through the multifaceted language of movement that draws from the dance of the subconscious, Skin Hunger summons a powerful counterforce to the often disembodied experience of our digital age. Binaural soundscape creates an intimate 3 dimensional sound environment for each audience member in this unique staging, creating an immersive auditory connection to the bodies of the 6 international performers.

People all receive the first and the last sensations of their lives through touch. Hopefully this work serves as an invitation and motivation to be more in touch with each other.
