In it, he evokes childhood memories, which continue to shape him and allows himself to view the world from a child’s perspective, even as an adult artist. The Oberkreuzberger Nasenfloetenorchester plays children's instruments and the musicians of the group Beirut win us over with their youthful charm and their lyrics about past times. Soto developed wonderfully playful pas de deux to these musical associations. Because the dancers enjoy trying new things, they seem to forget all technical difficulties, even though their physical capabilities are being tested. Kiss me good night proves that virtuosity, velocity and perfection do not stand in opposition to naiveté and fragility.
