Choreographer: Sol León & Paul Lightfoot

'Singulière Odyssée' by Sol León and Paul Lightfoot is symbolic of the choreographers’ awareness of how the predominance of travel, of moving and of living in an everlasting state of flux has carried through the DNA of our times. The piece is set in a train station based on the art deco waiting room of Basel’s Central Station. Dancers come and go as passersby in transit, except for one character who lingers in waiting and watches travelers go by and come back, in a moment frozen in time. For this piece, the music, titled 'Exiles', has been especially composed by none other than Max Richter.
