Touchme touchme touchme explores touch and different kind of touching; what is considered to be acceptable in our background and culture. The piece does not set any definite pictures or underline any specific kind of touch but invites the audience to experience the world of touch and to make their own interpretations about it’s meanings — to figure out their own relationship with their bodies and boundaries.
