Fusing dance and dialogue in a look at stereotypes and clichés of multicultural life in Britain, Luca Silvestrini’s Protein is taking its Border Tales on tour.
The show, which was nominated for the Carol Tambor Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2017, will begin at the Albany, London on 19 April before touring to Coventry, Bracknell, Leicester, Milton Keynes and Norwich then to Italy, Switzerland and Romania.
Luca Silvestrini, Artistic Director of Protein, said, "the desire to bring back this piece of work created in 2013 comes primarily from the moment we are living in. Back then, we were only at the start of a world crisis; four years down the line a lot has happened, resulting in a more divisive and intolerant co-existence.
"I feel it is important to bring back these simple yet relevant tales of migration and identity, to both remember the past and to reflect about today. This year's restaging of Border Tales is not only a desire to make sure that more people can see it, but it is primarily a necessity to provoke and increase our capacity to talk and share stories of migration."
