hun&hund

Haugen Produksjoner

It is set for an extraordinary duet when the dog Hera takes the stage as a performing artist together with owner Liv Hanne Haugen.

hun&hund (she&dog) is a stage event that takes place between dance artist L. H. Haugen and her dog Hera, a rather unpredictable dance partner. The relationship between her and her dog is somewhat unusual, not only because they are now being staged, but because the dog is not subject to society's usual discipline of the species. The fact that Haugen gives Hera free rein in order to fulfil her own desire for freedom leads to her being regarded as a neglectful dog owner. This inspired Haugen in developing this event where they problematise their relationship. Hera is, for a dog, an experienced performing artist with a great talent for presence. Haugen, which in this way can be annoyed and inspired by Hera, has made the dog her master. It is these more and less successful exercises in the presence that hun&hund displays on stage, but also everyday interaction between the dog and its owner, which allows for both recognition and surprise.
