BRAVO TOGA: The Doggy Style Project
Picture: ©Jonas Jörnberg
The Doggy Style project is the final chapter in BRAVO TOGAs “Slut-shaming trilogy”. The piece dissects our depiction of “the slut” through written and choreographed movement between sexual objectification and subjectification and maybe a third perspective. With this performance piece BRAVO TOGA also wishes to embrace “the doggy style’s” ambiguous symbolism between erotic tension and practical investigation.
Treat yourself with this blast of empowerment in an unsexy medieval atmospehere with a little bit of self-reflection. Please join us when we dig our deepest into the landscape of food-crushing, doggy-styling as inverted cat-calling, subjective and the objective gazes and the blood splattered herstory of sexual scapegoating.
