Midnight Meat Flight, the first collaboration between Betontanc (Matjaz Pograjc's renowned dance company) and Silence, is also the duet's very first theatre score. Furthermore, the play also represents Silence's acting debut - Benko and Hladnik played the ruthless hosts of a macabre dance marathon in which refugees from Eastern Europe competed for a one-way ticket to the promised land - the West. The play, an uncompromising portrait of human ferocity, was based on two classic pictures: Michael Curtiz's Casablanca and Sydney Pollack's They Shoot Horses, Don't They?.

The soundtrack - performed live - consisted of eight adapted songs taken from Silence's first and second album. The score also featured a curious cover version of Prince's classic hit When Doves Cry.
