Feral Reverie is a dreamlike choreography that treats wildness not as metaphor but as insubordination. The piece cracks open a sci-fi ruin where nothing holds, not even the choreography itself. It drifts between digital glitch and dirt, between fiction and reality, summoning a space that is unstable, fluid, feral.
On stage, three performers move through glitch, breakdown, and evasion; they refuse repair, refuse the blueprint, and build from ash. Choreography becomes soft sabotage: a code corrupted, a glitch with intent, a language of survival written in contact, distortion, collapse, refusal. Because collapse, in this world, is the only ground that still tells the truth.
The piece leaves us with a provocation, not a comfort: What remains when wildness is crushed and desire is shackled by power?
