Known for its witty and profound dance theatre, Luca Silvestrini’s award-winning Protein has struck dance gold with this timely production – back by popular demand, following performances across the UK in 2011.
Logging on to our lives online, LOL (lots of love) delves into the world of electronic communication to uncover the evolutionary shift that social networking and the internet are having upon the way we live and love. Against a video wall of screen-gazing individuals, six cyber soulmates stylishly nail the language of life online in their quest for romance. Talking and dancing at speed, they 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.
