Feral Fantasies | Dansehallerne

It’s late, it’s dark, and it’s getting weird. Feral Fantasies is a choreographic solo by Andreas Haglund that explores how the power dynamics between performer and spectator play out in queer self-realisation. Dancing in the face of alienation, this solo embraces how eco-sexual approaches to performing as animals for the sake of pleasure confuse the borders of the self. Where does a person begin? How determining is the power of the audience’s gaze?

Navigating the human and the monstrous, the caricature and the vulnerable, the dog and the daddy, Feral Fantasies pushes against the domestication of the self and dances out a reality where the self goes wild.

From the bushes of the self, from a blurry silhouette, from the spectator’s gaze, and from all fours, Feral Fantasies asks:
Who’s a good boy?

Their artistic practice centers on explorations of the somatic, material and aesthetic coherences between queer lived experience and the cultural conceptions of nature.
