Known for creating witty and profound dance theatre, influenced by everyday life, Luca Silvestrini’s Protein has struck dance gold with this timely, critically acclaimed production.

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.

Commissioned by DanceEast, Greenwich Dance and The Place, and supported by South Hill Park Arts Centre, Bracknell. Luca Silvestrini›s Protein performed LOL (lots of love) at the British Council Edinburgh Showcase in 2011.
