Microphobia

By Bettina Strickler and Luca Silvestrini of Protein Dance
2004
In a whirlwind of music, voices, and sounds, prepare to be transported from an airport security check to Olympic stadium via a brush with a Brasilian Crocodile! Choreographed by Bettina Strickler and Luca Silvestrini

A witty blend of dance theatre, music and language, Microphobia reflects our desire to analyse all that we say and do.

A high energy, entertaining, physical, hilarious and thought provoking study of human behaviour…The attention to detail and comic timing is absolute genius.
