Recently Le Gateau Chocolat has started work on several new projects, the first in fruition being RAW CACAO, a piece developed for Utopia a programme curated by Charlotte Church for Wales Millennium Centre’s Festival of the Voice ’18.

Le Gateau Chocolat's work continues as a vehicle for discussing otherness, discrimination, and mental health crises as universal concerns whilst opening up discussions with marginalised groups across ages and within LGBTQ+ and BAME communities where these issues are pressing.

Le Gateau Chocolat's work is supported by Strategic Producers at The Sick of the Fringe.
