About the performance
Who’s a good boy?
Feral Fantasies is a choreographic solo by Andreas Haglund that stages processes of domestication and their wild undoing. Embodying both dog and dancer, Haglund draws on the queer subculture of Puppy Play alongside his own history of rigorous dance training to explore submission, domination, and the fragile borders between autonomy and control.
Shapeshifting with a bright green tennis ball, a spinning chair and a gaze that both commands and pleads, Haglund engages the audience in a game of fetch, performs agility-inspired dances and revels in the rhythms of queer club dances. Humor, intimacy, and intensity coexist in this performance as the dancer and the dog explore the interplay between control and freedom, ultimately distorting structures of discipline to dance a wilder body into life. In this tension, the audience is carried through a performance full of Feral Fantasies.
Bouncing between the wild and the tame, the caricature and the vulnerable, the dog and the daddy, Feral Fantasies examines how discipline domesticates bodies while proposing strategies for navigating the tension between submission and freedom. Inside the trance of fetch, the silhouette of a body on all fours, and the bushes of the self, the work asks: How does the gaze of another contain that which wants to go wild?
