Otto Sandqvist

Morning mist over the empty dance floor. Dew settles over the last dancer. A white western hat. Cowboy lost.

Cowboy försvunnen deals with bottomless desire, exhaustion, mania, depression, a certain boundlessness, and alienation in the perception of the self, as well as a collectively shared experience of isolation and loneliness.

These mental states are often very bodily, and therefore Cowboy försvunnen takes shape in and around the body. The performance thematizes a physical and affective experience of living in a late capitalist society.

In Cowboy försvunnen, banal, peculiar, and overly detailed fantasies of submission, desire, and escape are shared on a dance floor – among dancing bodies.
