Parvin Saljoughi Feral Reverie

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?

about

Parvin comes from a background in visual arts (bachelor’s) and choreography (master’s), with an advanced master in research on art within socio-political contexts. Her work orbits around the complexities of the body, its vulnerabilities, its politics, its invisibilities. Displacement, suppressed narratives, and postcolonial theory are deeply intertwined with her lived experience. Parvin is originally from Tehran and now lives in Brussels, as an alien, in more than one sense.

In 2023, Parvin was a fellow at the IF Berlin, and her work has been supported and co-produced by Flash Art, Live Works VOL.07, Batard Festival, and Tashweesh. She has participated in residencies including PACT Zollverein, Beursschouwburg, workspacebrussels, Centrale Fies, Mousonturm, Kunstenwerkplaats, and BUDA. She has collaborated with artists such as Wen Hui, Serafine1369, Hooman Sharifi,Noor Abed, Claudia Castellucci, among others, and interned in 2021 with Meg Stuart/Damaged Goods. She premiered her choreographic works Make Sense Who May, I Switch Off, and Temporarily Closed at Beursschouwburg.
