Skin Hunger by Dante or Die

Skin Hunger by Dante or Die

A full archive recording of the live 1:1 performance installation, filmed at Stone Nest in June 2021. 

“If you wanted to hold me. If you wanted to hold me. Hold me and tell me it’s okay”

Skin Hunger is about the power of touch - a vital aspect of humanity that so many of us didn’t realise we needed until it was restricted.

Daphna Attias directed three compelling monologues written by Ann Akinjirin, Tim Crouch and Sonia Hughes which explored the fundamental role that touch plays in our lives, with refreshing humour and insight.

Skin Hunger was a powerful live theatre experience set in a hidden chapel in London’s West End reflecting on intimacy and connection, after so many of us have been starved of human contact.

Skin Hunger is presented in partnership with Stone Nest and is funded by Arts Council England.

Running time: 45 mins

REVIEWS:

"a reminder of theatre’s ‘ability to provoke deep, intimate connections between audience and performer" - Exeunt 

"The production plays with the illusion of intimacy, the encounters simultaneously tender and jarringly artificial" - The Stage 

"An exhilarating, intelligent production, that movingly articulates the importance of touch between humans"- Everything Theatre 

Preview: "the whole experience feels incredibly intimate, private, quiet" - Guardian
