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'.”
