Multi-award-winning, Geelong-based Back to Back Theatre creates new forms of contemporary theatre to question the assumptions about what is possible in theatre and the assumptions we hold about ourselves and others. Imagined from the minds and experiences of a unique ensemble of actors with disabilities, the new works weave the personal, the political and the cosmic and further conversations with audiences and previous works.Synopsis: The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes is a story about individual and collective responsibility. At a public meeting, the type of meeting you would hope to happen in a certain kind of democracy, there are many voices. How do we come together to make decisions that are in the best interest of a civic society?Set inside a vast, awe-inspiring inflatable, Lady Eats Apple is a story about the inevitability of death, our fragility and the myths and illusions we create to fortify ourselves.Super Discount is a classic narrative of a hero fighting back from early setbacks to a new position of insight and strength. It questions who we choose to be and choose others to be, and what it means to act and our motivations for acting.
