Luca Silvestrini’s Protein are one of the UK’s leading dance theatre companies. Their live show May Contain Food has toured the UK for several years. In this filmed version, made at The Place in 2016, audiences are invited to watch the show while preparing a menu at home of some of the tasty bites prepared.

Filmed at The Place in 2016 and finally available online, May Contain Food is Protein’s popular and witty piece of dance and music theatre created by Luca Silvestrini and Orlando Gough, featuring an exquisite cast of four vocalists and four dancers singing for their supper.

Sit back, follow the performers and relish the food, just like the dining audience in the recording, as you explore your relationship with eating for a very unique ‘night in.’

Some courses feature simple ingredients such as a cherry tomato and a ball of rice, whilst adventurous audiences seeking a full sensory experience can have a go at Gough’s own recipe of aromatic sticky ginger pudding to bake during the viewing and consume at the end.
