[Past Event] Air Hunger

“Illness is the night side of life” — Susan Sontag

Your bed is where you dream, sweat, sleep, cry, make love, hold and are held. With illness, a bed can become an entire universe. A swamp, an island, an embrace.

Air Hunger is a visceral, intimate, and giddy piece of dance theatre, drawing you into the very private world of living in the “night side of life”. At times vulnerable and fragile, at times emotionally explosive and confronting, Air Hunger brings experiences that are often hidden into the public realm.
