Speaking about the show Luca Silvestrini, who conceived and created it, said: “My desire to adapt our current show May Contain Food for a rural tour is to make theatrical experiences available to people less exposed to dance and theatre.

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

“We are approaching this new tour with a particular sensitivity, as we are going to be guests in their environment, and acknowledge that for a small community what’s happening in their town or village hall is much more than a show.

“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.”

Composer Orlando Gough is celebrated across the UK for his compositions for contemporary dance, ballet and theatre.

Recently, he has worked on the critically acclaimed Mr Burns at the Almeida Theatre) and the community opera Imago at Glyndebourne, which won a Royal Philharmonic Society Award in 2014.
