HUNGRY HEARTS TRAILER
“Hungry Hearts” is a dance performance that embodies the raw power and vulnerability of young women. Courageous and caring, they create a space between arena and safe space.
Five young women and girls from different generations - Millennials, Gen Z and Generation Alpha - come together to find out what it means to be strong and vulnerable at the same time. While millennials are often already confronted with established social norms and career expectations, the younger ones, especially Gen Z and Generation Alpha, are experiencing a changing world in which digitalization, social media and global crises bring new uncertainties and opportunities.
They are around ten years apart in age. While the older ones offer guidance through their life experiences, the younger ones contribute new views and impulses. They test the limits of trust, share their emotions and give free rein to their feelings. They test their physical strength and vulnerability. There are no fixed rules, only the raw, wild, tender experience. HUNGRY HEARTS addresses how femininity today - whether binary or non-binary - is judged by society, especially in social media, and questions social norms.
HUNGRY HEARTS is a touching experience that shows how dance can connect resilience, self-worth and self-care in a new, powerful way - and how strength and vulnerability complement each other.
