"The tango becomes a passionate attempt to overcome loneliness in togetherness, which can never fully succeed, neither in complete devotion nor in the tempestuous dance duel."
K. Schütze, OÖ Nachrichten, April 2015

SKIN HUNGER - the basic human necessity of touching and being touched - because touch makes us conscious of our existence. By touching we make us visible to others.
Contact can be the illusion of unification, as it can be the confirmation of our total isolation inside our skin.
What reaction does our body and our being have, facing the desperation of its skin, whose hunger can't be satisfied?
