FOOD COURT.

FOOD COURT

Set in the lush minimalism of an illuminated white void, a young woman is utterly victimised. Two actresses in gold leotards frolic across the stage and, with immense pleasure, abandon themselves to the humiliation of a third woman. A situation of merciless cruelty emerges, from which a fragile and moving beauty astonishingly wells up.

Driven by an ensemble of artists with intellectual disabilities, Back to Back is uniquely placed to comment on the social, cultural, ethical and value-based structures that define the institution known as 'the majority'.

Accompanied by a trance-like live improvisation by Sydney cult jazz trio, The Necks, Food Court is visually and musically virtuosic, and at the same time takes us back to the essence of theatre.

A near death experience in a suburban wonderland, Food Court will shock, challenge and confront. Be not afraid.
