Niek Wagenaar’s performance Sabbath can be seen again this spring.
On an ancient estate, beneath a dense canopy of leaves, in the mystical glow of the full moon, three figures gather for an enchanting ritual. Far removed from the norms of society, a play of light and darkness unfolds. A macabre dance against the direction of the clock, fueled by diabolical energy. Here the Sabbath takes place — a night of magic, mystery and transformation.
Sabbath is an ode to the outsider, a celebration of queerness and the power of witchcraft. In this dance performance, choreographer Niek Wagenaar and his dance company Nymphs revisit the traditional image of the witch. The witch is no longer a figure of fear and exclusion, but a symbol of empowerment, resistance and self-discovery. The witches’ sabbath becomes a safe space where everyone can be themselves, where identity and community are celebrated.
Witness the Sabbath, where boundaries blur and magic lingers in the air. Enter at your own risk, for when night falls, the witch awakens.
