Lightfoot and León use their ingredients for success as of old: beautiful lyrical movements alternated with spasmodic slapstick tics as an expression of internal madness, and black-and-white film on which the stories are doubled, mirrored and complemented. In Shoot the Moon you can immerse yourself magnificently and be amazed time and again about these unearthly good dancers.

There is an overwhelming sense of sadness in the company’s final piece Shoot the Moon which uses video screens, walls, a window and doors from which dancers emerge, exit and perform.

…Silent Screen is a rare compelling ballet in which all characteristic León & Lightfoot ingredients are combined into...well, call it an “insurmountable piece of art”… This masterpiece will inevitably touch your soul.

Silent screen is by far the longest work by the duo, and probably the most beautiful and captivating the two have created in their already richly stocked oeuvre.

This opening scene contains all the ingredients which make the entire ballet so gripping. Besides the ingenious melting together of dance with a film screen image is the mysterious mood which is implicitly summoned up.

Beautiful people, dressed in beautiful costumes, dance in such a beautiful and moving way that the dances become purposeful and revealing, open to whatever interpretation one desires. …an eclectic blend of dance, image and music where it’s you who tells the story.

Original, dynamic and stunningly his own.

Subcutaneous doomsday is never far away in Smith’s music. The hectic, angular movements in the jargon of Goecke, which are characterized by particularly abrupt changes, fill that ominous atmosphere remarkably well.

Goeckes force is going against force.

The world premiere ‘Thin Skin’ initially makes you itch; dancers are like praying mantis, moving fast in thousands of variations. But it's also dance that comes close to all the intangibility that defines humanity.

The beautifully performed duet by Jorge Nozal and Meng-Ke Wu, is the final duet for good reason. As in the songs by Smith there are no answers, however there doubt and life 'like a boomerang, keep comin' back.
