Special thanks to: Stefan Żeromski, Saura Lightfoot-León and Hector the kestrel.
'Stop-Motion' was created by house choreographers Sol León and Paul Lightfoot for the NDT 1 repertoire. On melancholic music by Max
Richter, seven dancers depict a process of farewell and transformation. As ephemeral as the dust, they grace the stage like ghosts or spirits; lighting up in and fading out. In this way, many elements in ‘Stop-Motion’ address the notions of past and future and how they merge into the present.
This is reinforced by large screens that show delayed video projections, which include their daughter Saura.
