Transmute

By Sabine Molenaar

In troubled times, it feels reassuring to be able to say that we have solid ground under our feet. When the ground is knocked out from under our feet, self-esteem falters. In TRANSMUTE familiar soil suddenly becomes quicksand and we slowly sink into an unknown world.

Is a human being an authentic being? Are you truly free to make your own choices? Or do environment, time and space determine who you are? What you choose? Are you you? Or are you subject to the dreams of others?

In this new performance by Sandman, choreographer Sabine Molenaar and her four wonderful performers deconstruct the reality we experience. Sabine peels off the layers and reveals them. She adds her dream universe as an additional truth. Time, space and roles seem interchangeable. Between dream and quicksand, even authenticity proves fluid.
