LOL (lots of love)
Presented by Protein
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 have had upon the way we live and love.
Winner of the Best Independent Company at the Critics’ Circle National Dance Awards, Luca Silvestrini's critically acclaimed show balances the promises of an online life and the complexity of real relationships to put love, wanting and connectedness centre-stage, through a mixture of social comment and provocative humour.
Against a video wall of dozens of screen-gazing individuals, Protein's six dancers stylishly nail the language of life online, talking and dancing at speed and making hilarious straight-to-the-audience confessionals. 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 Dance East, Greenwich Dance and The Place and supported by South Hill Park Arts Centre, Bracknell.
