I’d never seen this performance before. I was in the army by that time so I missed it. It’s interesting how Hope Sandoval’s stage presence is so commanding though she hardly moves, barely does a thing. She just has a still sort of confidence, a serenity, that defies all notions of how one should be on stage but it works perfectly for her. It’s like not only does she not care in the least that anyone is watching, but she doesn’t even know. As with Rorschach in Watchmen, she’s not here with us — we’re here with her.
