Skin Hunger

No Limits Festival
Thu 25 Sep

With the premiere of Skin Hunger, No Limits Festival presents it's first talent programme.

Skin Hunger is a 30-minute sensorial journey that merges dance, poetry, and sound into a tender exploration of skin, touch, and their absence. Rooted in research and prioritizing accessibility from its inception, the work is designed to engage all audiences, with special attention to blind users.

The performance challenges the dominance of sight by removing it entirely, inviting perception through other senses. In this space, scent becomes costume, sound becomes movement, language becomes vision, and warmth becomes distance.

Skin Hunger is an immersive multidisciplinary performance directed by Mireia Varón Gallofré, created in collaboration with poet Puck Füsers and sound designer Myra-Ida van der Veen. It offers an intimate experience that invites audiences to listen with their bodies, feel with their ears, and sense the presence of others through absence.

I walk, and the walking warms me up. when I move, the space between us takes on different forms.

About Mireia Varón Gallofré

Mireia’s artistic practice focuses on empowering communities that face barriers to artistic participation. Since 2021, she has been researching how to make dance more accessible for blind users by translating visual elements into other sensory forms and uncovering deeper creative layers of movement. Inclusion is not treated as an add-on but as a driving force of the artistic process.
