Season 2019

HUNGER - choreography by Heather Maloy

At the root, we are all hungry. Most of us not in the strict use of the term, but we all have something that we crave. Deep within the human soul lies an emptiness that screams to be fed. For some it is a desire for love, for others acceptance. Maybe your hunger calls out for power, spiritual enlightenment, money or fame. Maybe it is darker. Some hungers can be satiated while others simply reside within us, guiding our lives. Told through vignettes that range from funny to shocking, HUNGER inspires the audience to contemplate the force of their own desires and envision how a need for something as basic as food and water would alter their lives. The original version premiered June 26, 2014 at the Diana Wortham Theatre, Asheville. This video is of a re-worked version that premiered on June 20, 2019, also at the Diana Wortham Theatre, Asheville.
