It’s late, it’s dark, and it’s getting weird… 

Feral Fantasies is a choreographic solo by Andreas Haglund that stages processes of domestication and their wild undoing.

In the role of a feral pet, a dancer fills an empty black box with wild desire and the tangible tensions of power play.

Driven by a speculative approach to dance, this pet embraces an eco-sexual ethos of performing as an animal for the sake of their own pleasure.

Inside the trance of a flying tennis ball, a stretched leash and a flipped chair, Feral Fantasies blurs the borders of the self. Where and when does personhood begin and end? How does the gaze of another contain that which wants to go wild? Who’s in charge? 

Bouncing between the wild and the tame, the caricature and the vulnerable, the dog and the daddy, Feral Fantasies pushes against a domestication of the self and dances on the edge of obedience. From the bushes of the self, from a blurry silhouette, and from all fours, Feral Fantasies asks:

Who’s a good boy?
