In Don't Wanna Touch, YoungGangsters and DOX dive deep into the fear of touch and embrace the discomfort. Why can a simple handshake be awkward? Where does the shame come from with some touches? And when do you draw a line? Director Annechien de Vocht and choreographer Simon Bus, together with five energetic performers, create an exciting mix of hip-hop and “action theater”. With (un)ease, humor and vulnerability, we set boundaries and collectively break through the walls surrounding touch and intimacy. Are you ready to be touched?

In Don’t Wanna Touch duiken YoungGangsters en DOX vol in de angst voor aanraking en omhelzen ze het ongemak. Met uitdagende scènes onderzoeken ze liefdevolle, gewelddadige, seksuele en vriendschappelijke aanraking. Waarom kan een simpele handshake al awkward zijn? Waar komt de schaamte vandaan bij sommige aanrakingen? En wanneer trek je een grens?

Regisseur Annechien de Vocht en choreograaf Simon Bus creëren samen met vijf energieke performers een spannende mix van hiphop en “actietheater”. Met (on)gemak, humor en kwetsbaarheid stellen YoungGangsers en Dox grenzen èn beuken ze collectief door de hokjes rondom aanraking en intimiteit heen. Are you ready to be touched?
