The two-part ballet evening Schmetterling combines two choreographies by Sol León and Paul Lightfoot, Silent Screen and Schmetterling, which are among the defining works of their oeuvre. The successful artistic collaboration between the two dance makers dates back to 1989. Together, they have created more than 60 world premieres for the Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT), whose house choreographers they were from 2002 to 2020. The Bayerisches Staatsballett was the first company to rehearse Silent Screen and Schmetterling outside the NDT in the 2022-23 season. Both works are characterized by the unmistakable dance language of Sol León and Paul Lightfoot. This is characterized by technical sophistication and a pronounced sense of theatricality. All steps, gestures and figures are based on an emotional attitude, a narrative content or a poetic idea. As a result, human existence unfolds in both ballets as a specific experiential space that stretches between lust for life and awareness of death.
