If You Could See Me Now Three performers reshape a chilled-out club dance into a mesmerizing wave-like motion until everything morphs into one big chunk of energy. At maximal and sweaty exertion, their incessant movement flow reinvents itself through luminous, ever-changing impressions. Seemingly casual yet with great precision, If You Could See Me Now urges another, closer look. Arno Schuitemaker created the performance against the backdrop of a rapidly changing reality to interrogate how to deal with things when they no longer are the way they were. How do we shift and realign our focus? How to keep going and move forward? From ecstasy to turmoil, from a meticulous build-up to its fracturing, If You Could See Me Now goes right to the core of a transformative perspective.

“A magnificent performance, tactfully playing with your emotions.” de Volkskrant ⭑⭑⭑⭑

“Brilliant work, with a progression so subtle that its transformations are something you rather sense and feel than you can directly point out.” NRC ⭑⭑⭑⭑

“In this liberating performance, everything falls into place” Trouw ⭑⭑⭑⭑

about Arno Schuitemaker

Through a rigorous integration of movement, light, and electronic music, Arno Schuitemaker, based in Amsterdam, creates performances one has to experience. His contemporary works immerse the audience, each in their unique way. Rooted in the pages of his diary, they transform into hyperphysical and embodied meditations on life, and, consequently, the way we (can) engage with the world. The performances receive praise for the inventive forms that Arno creates to express and give meaning to universal themes. They have been presented at renowned venues and contemporary performing arts festivals in more than 25 countries.
