About
Australia’s Back to Back Theatre is known for its strong focus on video and lighting to build visually rich spaces, and for its exploration of philosophical ideas that challenge society’s conventional criteria for “life” and “beauty.” Created with a cast that includes people with disabilities, this globally acclaimed production tells the story of the Hindu god Ganesh’s adventure in parallel with the actors’ own internal conflicts about performing that story.
