SOCIAL networking and communication are explored in an exciting new work at Pavilion Dance South West in Bournemouth.

PDSW will present LOL (lots of love) by Luca Silvestrini’s Protein on Thursday as part of the Thursday night is dance night programme for Spring 2015.

Have you ever wondered whether electronic communication is a contradiction in itself? If so, then LOL (lots of love) is a definite must-see!

It is a work of which The Guardian said: “Human communication on virtual speed, exhilarating and funny … his best creation yet.”

Shifting between real and ideal self, LOL enters the lives of six people trapped in their webs of aspirations, desires and self-broadcasting.

Talking and dancing at speed, they tackle the baffling etiquette of electronic discourse, make hilarious straight-to-the audience confessions, and dance the equivalent of poking and tweeting.

With video animation by Rachel Davies and original music by Andy Pink, these ingredients combine to a razor-sharp commentary on our Facebook society, and an affecting account of human need.
