About The Work
Crave is: poignant, romantic, whimsical and chaotic—a duet that mines intimacy while navigating loneliness, unsettledness, and the hope that keeps us hanging on. Sarah Shugarman’s stunning score is brought to life by a live string quartet. As part of the pre-show, audience members are invited to join the dancing on stage with intimate dance on stage with a partner, friend, or stranger.
Nominated for 4 Dora Mavor Moore Awards.
Winner for Outstanding Male Performance.
“Crave is a poignant exploration in all its sweet and hideous colours . . .absolutely haunting.”
