Sommeren 2008 reiste The Hungry Hearts til Lofoten for å arbeide med å utvikle nye karakterer, monologer/ dialoger og koreografi som skal inn i fremtidige performancer. Vi fikk leie Kunstkvarter Lofoten (et tidligere sykehjem, nå kunstsenter) og endte opp med en kortfilm på 6 minutter.
I forkant av arbeidsoppholdet i Lofoten nedla vi mye tid på å tenke omkring ordtaket: "Taushet er gull".
Søsken som bor sammen, kjøkkenscenene fra norske filmer med to brødre og lyden av kaffekopper, samt hvordan vi forholder oss til det fremmede var andre temaer vi hadde vært opptatt av en stund.
Filmen "Kiss me with your eyes" består av delvis improviserte scener i et performativt formspråk.
Dette audiovisuelle videoverket er vår kommentar. Musikken og bildene tar utgangspunkt i det menneskelige, i denne sammenheng en kvinnes, emosjoner: lengsler og begjær, en søken etter sann kjærlighet og den energien disse følelsene setter i gang.

In 2006 Tonje, Edith and Sofia tried to get from London to the seaside of England. But this was in June, and all the pale English families had summer vacation at the seaside, so there were no available rooms for us. The only available hotel in this pat of England was in Birmingham. In this hotel we made “In the Closet”.
Synopsis of In the Closet: Betty comes home from work to have her lunch…
The ladies helping the magicians inspired the making of this film. They appear as fearless, sophisticated, silent and unreachable objects leaving their bodies and life into the magician’s hands.
The magician has created an image of himself as magic and mysterious.
This film goes into these characters and tries to absorb the extreme pattern these traditional roles are building upon.
Running time: 10 minutes

A little woman with big red lips surrounding her mouth is talking about Lulu and Lolita. She tells us that Lulu and Lolita work at the Hospital of Love. At the Hospital of Love there are a lot of women. Some of them are waiting for the customers, or ”the lonely dogs” For some, Hospital of Love is a whorehouse, for others it is a psychosis, a dream. The women are living their lives in this house waiting for the customers or for something else...
They reveal their secrets and dreams through dance, a clairvoyant lamp, songs and whispering words. Hospital of Love is a surrealistic art-film performed in a theatrical language.
