Sol León and Paul Lightfoot created SH-BOOM! in 1994 for the annual Dancers Choreography Workshop, now called Switch. The piece marks the beginning of their successful collaboration and is therefore of great importance for the choreographic duo, not in the least because Sol herself performed in the piece. Combining a sense of humour with irony, SH-BOOM! expresses the way how people from different backgrounds conduct and relate to one another. Inspired by Francisco de Goya’s satirical black & white sketches, the dark side (irony) and the light side (humour) are masterfully intertwined.
