"Ultimatum " was born out of collapse—emotional, climatic, and political. "Ultimatum " is not a warning: it is a cry, a dance that burns. A work that blends dance, theater, and film.

*Ultimatum*, the latest work by the Navarre-based company Led Silhouette, explores the contradictions of human nature, addressing themes such as isolation and social decline. A reflection on our fragility in a world that seems to be falling apart, an urgent call to look at the present. The stage becomes a landscape of poetic struggle where the body persists, exhausts itself, and rises again. Movement is not form—it is urgency. It is the body as the final territory, as the language that remains when there is nothing left.

LED Silhouette

Led Silhouette (winner of the 2024 Ojo Crítico Award for Dance from RNE) is a contemporary dance company based in northern Navarre, directed by Jon Lopez and Martxel Rodriguez, who are regular performers and collaborators with the company La Veronal. In 2016, they decided to venture into the world of creation, feeling a deep connection to the stage’s ability to evoke emotions, and took the lead on a project bringing together various artists involved in the performing arts and contemporary art.

Their work stands out for its innovative approach to contemporary dance, combining avant-garde elements and drawing inspiration from dance theater and even film. Led Silhouette has demonstrated a high level of artistic excellence in its productions, receiving praise from both critics and audiences. This has contributed significantly to the region’s cultural landscape, enriching the country’s arts scene and making its mark on the European scene.

His works have been featured at festivals such as Madrid en Danza, Temporada Alta, and Escena Patrimonio, as well as international festivals such as Le Temps d'Aimer la danse in France, the Quincena de Dança Almada Festival in Portugal, the Festival Internazionale Nuova Danza in Italy, and the SZIGET Festival in Hungary.

They have been awarded residencies at the Canal Choreographic Center and at the headquarters of the National Dance Company (2018). Their works are part of national networks or circuits such as Platea, Danza Escena, Red Acieloabierto, and Red de Teatros Alternativos. In 2021, they created their first large-scale piece, titled RGB, for the Companhia de Dança Almada in Portugal. In 2026, they choreographed a piece for the German company Ballet Staatstheater Augsburg.

His work *Los Perros* received the Catalan Critics’ Award for Best Choreography in 2023. *Halley*, which premiered in 2024, is nominated for the 2025 Talía Performing Arts Awards for Best Dance Production and Best Choreography. In 2025, they premiered *Noces* at the MUN, a co-production with the Navarra Chamber Choir and the MUN.
