A SHOW which will appeal to food fans, as well as dance lovers, is coming to north Wiltshire next month.

Award-winning dance company Protein have created a specially adapted version of their playful show to tour rural venues.

Conceived and created by Luca Silvestrini and Orlando Gough, May Contain Food aims to provoke thinking on the sensory, cultural and social implications of food through dance, as part of an initiative to bring contemporary dance to audiences across the countryside.

The adaptation is a duet for dancers Sonya Cullingford and Carl Harrison who both appeared in the original production which toured the UK earlier this year. Audiences will be invited to bring and share homemade dishes and locally sourced or homegrown food.

Sitting at themed speciality tables designed by Jann Seabra, they will be served playful dance accompanied by songs by composer Orlando Gough.

Luca Silvestrini said: “The idea of visiting smaller communities, and re-imagining their village or town halls with an interactive and surprising show about food, fascinates me.

"I want May Contain Food, May Contain You to be an event which reflects this quite simple but beautiful concept. I believe it's going to be fun and I am looking forward to learning more about rural England."

The show runs for 90 minutes and is aimed at audiences over 12, as it contains mild swearing.
