Work

I will wait for you

To create one of his most personal works, Arno Schuitemaker took the elusive and desireful nature of love as his source of inspiration.

“There is something very beautiful about ‘not yet’.”

I will wait for you develops from beginning to end in one seamless flow, as it goes on—and on. Together, separate, yet continuously connected, the performers surrender themselves to perpetual circular movements.

With its buildup-in-suspense, I will wait for you delays gratification, engaging the audience in an irrepressible longing. All logical sense of time evaporates. Slowly but surely, I will wait for you escalates in intensity, and grows into a deeply visceral experience.
