Known for mining witty and profound dance theatre from everyday life, Luca Silvestrini’s award-winning Protein has struck dance gold with this timely, critically acclaimed production – back by popular demand following performances across the UK in 2011.
Against a video wall of screen-gazing individuals, six cyber souls stylishly nail the language of life online in their quest for romance. Talking and dancing at speed, they tackle the baffling etiquette of electronic discourse, make hilarious straight-to-the audience confessions, and dance the physical equivalent of poking and tweeting. With video animation by Rachel Davies and original music by Andy Pink, these ingredients conjure a razor-sharp commentary on our Facebook society, and an affecting rendering of human need.
