A physical experience of f-f-fear 

Fear Me is a deeply personal dance performance that holds fear up to the light, even when that feels terrifying. Fear that settles inside you and takes over. The fear of trying to stay in control when every alarm bell in your body is already going off. Through powerful urban contemporary dance, award-winning choreographer Dalton Jansen and his performers tell a gripping story without relying on a conventional narrative. Feel tension breathe down your neck as courage races ahead. 

Representation, connection, and sensation 
On stage, one actor and two dancers move together through panic and hope, stillness and explosion, holding on and letting go. They are not searching for explanations, but for sensations: lightness within heaviness, weight within clarity and certainty. In this physical exploration, Dalton reveals what his work has become known for: representation, connection, and emotional impact. Elements that have earned him several dance awards. 

A personal work that never romanticizes fear 
Fear Me is a personal performance about what happens when tension settles into the body. It’s about uncertainty and the space where light offers no guarantees and darkness can sometimes feel protective. The piece does not romanticize fear, but reveals the exhaustion and the strength that emerge when you keep moving, even when every part of you wants to stop. Because standing still is not an option. 

Fear Me is supported by De Coproducers, a collective of fourteen Dutch theaters that champion innovative artists and performances that matter.
