Hooked
About the performance
Join us for this wild roller coaster ride that oscillates between euphoria and abstinence, fear and pleasure, the highest kick and the deepest tragedy. HOOKED is a physical and visual performance about the anatomy of addiction. With the body as a battlefield, HOOKED sheds light on addiction as a phenomenon – whether it be in the form of gambling, apps, shopping, alcohol, sex, drugs or painkillers.
What is this hunger that drives us?
What are the interests behind that push us?
And once we’re HOOKED – what does it take to break free?
HOOKED is a wake-up call in a scenic hybrid of dance, ritual, visual art and performance art. It is created by a team of international artists, including Danish/Swedish director and performance artist Annika B. Lewis, the Italian/German choreographer and performance artist Morgan Nardi, as well as the acclaimed, border-defying Swedish visual artist Peter Johansson.
