Research Topic:  hunger

Continuing to build upon their work with students from the Reyum Institute of Arts and Culture in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Eiko & Koma returned with the Peace & Charion to develop Hunger, a work which will be paired with their seminal work Grain and tour the U.S. this fall.  “At any age, we are all hungry not only for food but also for knowledge, intimacy, and life.  In our wanting, we can be self-absorbed and sometimes even act unkindly to others.  Dancing our hunger, however, we hope to not only address our desire to live but also mourn for those, dead or alive, whose hunger still haunts their spirits.”

Collaborators:  Peace and Charian [performers + visual artists, Reyum School of the Arts, Cambodia]
