Details

Blending high drama with comic insight, Protein Dance are fast making their mark as sly and subversive humourists in contemporary dance. Four vocalists and four dancers all sing for their supper in a witty piece of dance and music theatre that will provoke thinking on the sensory, cultural and social implications of food, from savouring the simplicity of a cherry tomato to touching on the moral dilemma of vegetarianism. With renowned composer Orlando Gough's music sung live and a tempting waft of freshly-baked pudding, expect a performance sure to delight all the senses. Weaving through celebrated designer Yann Seabra's interactive set, the performers will invite the audience to sit at a table, offer a tasting menu and then serve a show. Luca Silvestrini and Orlando Gough have collaborated closely so that all movement is composed and music choreographed and performed a cappella, creating an immersive experience of indulgence, nostalgia and mischief.
