Carlos Acosta formed the company that bears his name around the time of his retirement from The Royal Ballet, in 2016
Soledad, choreographed by Rafael Bonachela, is a slick, sexy and emotionally charged duet which explores the wild and tender sides of a relationship. Teresa Guerreiro for Culture Whisper said that the “engrossing” piece was, “An intense pas de deux set to plaintive music by the Mexican singer Chavela Vargas and Gidon Kremer's Hommage a Piazzolla, its tenor could be encapsulated in ‘can't live with you, can't live without you'.”
Soledad was awarded both the Guglielmo Ebreo Prize and the Critics' Prize at the first-ever Biennale Danza e Italia international competition for independent choreographers in 2006 when it first premiered.
