Nederlands Dans Theater 2

Some Other Time (2014) premiered at the anniversary performance 25 Years León & Lightfoot. A white floor and black decor pieces that seemingly float across the stage, highlight the refreshing and oppressive feeling that the dancers portray in this ballet. All dressed in black and with a wide variety of pas de deux and solos Some Other Time is an extraordinary exercise for the NDT2 dancers in the emotional dance language that is so characteristic for choreographers Sol León and Paul Lightfoot.

"Sad Case so excellently represents the early work of Lightfoot and Leon. That jolliness is sharply contrasted with the melancholic, dreamlike atmosphere of Some Other Time." NRC (2014)

“…delicate performances by Xanthe and Imre van Opstal in Some Other Time.” Theaterkrant (2014)

“..all of {León and Lightfoot’s} characteristics can be found in the duet Schubert and the quartet Some Other Time (with eight shadow dancers) ranging from grinning humor to deep melancholy..” de Volkskrant (2014)

“Some Other Time is contemplative, almost still. Imre van Opstal looks back accurately,  as if she reflects on repressed desires. Her sister Xanthe wears a lace collar and laughs. Is this her young, vibrant alter ego?” de Volkskrant (2014)
