Two chosen siblings dream out loud about a queer future that doesn’t look like settling down. How do you start a family that functions outside of the hetero-infrastructure? What does a love song sound like if it lacks a romantic motif?
Why we decided to get a dog is a vocal performance for two voices, to electric guitars and two hydraulic lifts. Drawing from interviews with queer families and from Timo and Hélène’s own friendship, they perform an experimental, critical and visual deconstruction of a serenade-concert.
