Sandman

About

In her solo performance, That’s It, Sabine Molenaar drifts among layers of reality, claws her way back from nightmare dreamscapes and morphs to creatures hidden in the darkest recess of our minds in a dream that transforms body, time and space. Across dreamscapes, stories and images pass by without logic, a roller coaster of memories and associations.

With each morphing movement Molenaar seduces the viewer until they come face to face with their greatest fear: that nothing is what it seems. In spirals of discomfort she keeps the viewer in a state of non-control mirrored in her performance, opening the gateway to other worlds of perception where but one burning question exists: where do dreams end and reality begin?

Quotes

'It is a rare pleasure to be held in suspense, distilled interest, and pure visceral feelings especially when things may not be connecting in the “normal way” way of our mind’s eye. Miss Molenaar has obviously accomplished complete corporal incarnation in her dance craft, the signature uniqueness of what we are seeing at once with postures which we are ingrained in our contemporary visual canon, afford such a pleasure.'

Deep Kuts, Canada

'Molenaar brings beauty and madness together in a way that fascinates and that sends shivers down your spine.'

De Morgen, Belgium

'From beginning to end, Sabine Molenaar manages to inspire astonishment and give shape to her forceful inner world, which is sometimes also frightening.'
