The less we see, the more there is to be looked at. Sanne van Rijn tries to make us aware of this looking, of its unprecedented power, and of the responsibility this brings with it.
Looking means creating the world. 

The Flemish Sanne van Rijn’s work for the theatre does not fit into any single category. It is not drama, nor dance, nor mime. Nor is it assembled out of all these genres. It is too highly refined for that. The ritual of theatre always plays a part in her work, yet the subject of this theatre is never theatre itself. Rather the opposite. She wants to make theatre invisible. She does so by giving meaning to the audience’s awareness of the theatrical situation. Sanne van Rijn previously made Tilting at the NTGent, which was a choreographic piece with the precision of a watch, and also I want you to become a bear, a family show with live origami and Wim Opbrouck in the role of the brutal father.
The Flemish NTGent Theater is very reactive to the happenings of the outside world. Beside the actors  also writers, directors, philisophers and experts belong to the open company. Next to the great names there are three more artists and groups of young artists at the NTGent Company: Sanne van Rijn, Peter Verhelst and the Wunderbaum theater collective.
