Protein is one of the most distinctive voices in British dance theatre, Artistic Director and founder Luca Silvestrini has been using a blend of original choreography, text, humour and music to entertain and provoke audiences since 1998. Artsreach was delighted to welcome the company to Cerne Abbas inspring 2020 with their fantastic family show, The Little Prince.
The smash-hit Border Tales is Protein’s punchy yet poignant commentary on multicultural Britain, seen through the eyes of an international cast, and told through dance, live music and dialogue compiled from the performers’ personal experiences.
With this broadcast, we contribute to breaking down the walls of silence that uphold and sustain ‘borders’ around the world.

“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.”
