Welcome to the world of the Netherlands Dans Theater’s in-house choreographers Sol León and Paul Lightfoot. During this evening, they take you with them to their artistic universe. You can see the characteristic style of the successful Spanish-British choreographer duo in the humorous SH-Boom, and enjoy the powerful, theatrical Same Difference, set to music by Philip Glass. The closing performance of Shoot the Moon, also with the beautiful sounds of Glass, gives you a glimpse into the love lives of several characters.
