You love the people around you. You want to take care of them, protect them, and never lose them. But what if that very love arouses fear? If the thought of something happening to them keeps recurring, how much do you want to put it away?

In FEAR ME choreographer Dalton Jansen takes you into a world where love and fear collide. Bodies brace themselves, movements jam, and built-up tension suddenly erupts. Dance, text, music and silence make you feel how the fear of losing someone can take up more and more space. What starts as the need to keep someone close becomes a fight with thoughts that won't be stopped.

Based on his personal experiences with anxiety and OCD, Dalton examines how those thoughts affect his relationships and his fatherhood. How do you take care of the people you love when you constantly fear something will happen to them? Where does protection end and control begin? And how do you tolerate the fact that you can't prevent everything?

FEAR ME is a raw, physical theatre experience about protecting and letting go. About what fear does to love. And about learning to live with the uncertainty that inevitably comes with loving.

The media about his previous performance Tetragrammaton
“How do you shape the Rastafarian culture of ‘we’ instead of ‘I’? In JAH! by Dalton Jansen, five dancers show that in stunningly powerful scenes.” De Volkskrant
