Following a phenomenal run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017 to sold-out audiences, award winning company Protein presents a thought-provoking yet poignant commentary on multicultural Britain through dance, live music and dialogue compiled from the performers’ personal experiences. Border Tales looks at post-Brexit Britain seen through the eyes of an international cast and gazes satirically on stereotypical thinking about migrant outsiders and bigoted homelanders.

 

*“Funny, thought-provoking and consistently entertaining, “Border Tales” celebrates our differences, acknowledges our sameness and does more to repair the rifts than politics ever could.” (The Scotsman)

 

One of the most distinctive voices in British dance theatre, Luca Silvestrini’s Protein has been using a blend of original choreography, text, humour and music to entertain and provoke audiences since 1997. Our next production will be a dance theatre adaptation of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry that will premiere in December 2018.

 

“Luca Silvestrini, director of Protein, is one of the UK’s most consistently provocative choreographers, with works such as “Dear Body” and “LOL” pointing a satirical finger at society’s most absurd contradictions.” (Luke Jennings, The Observer)
