Feral Reverie is an experimental choreography of collapse and evasion, a system lovingly designed to fail.
It dreams of freedom through the cracks of the current order, tracing wildness not as disorder but as a way of life, a strategy, a refusal. Choreography becomes a kind of soft sabotage, a code gone dirty, a glitch with agency, a mode of being that doesn’t need to make sense to make life.
Three dancers move alongside pigeons, who are neither metaphor nor prop, but co-conspirators in refusal. Together, they inhabit a digital ghost-world, a space flickering between screen and flesh, where fugitivity, uncertainty, and ungovernable movement become the shared terrain. Nothing resolves. Meaning flickers, or doesn’t. Coherence stays out of reach, on purpose.
The pigeons interrupt. They are the stereotype that refuses to become symbols. What happens when performance stops performing? When bodies won’t sync, won’t land, won’t pose? This is the place where digital meets dirt. Where control reaches its soft, flickering edge. Where failure is not a detour but a method. Instability is the point. Feral Reverie asks: What trembles beneath the algorithm, beneath the demand to mean something? What would happen if wildness left us behind?
