We are finite in an infinite world: the punchline
of existence is how little of it we are given.
An anxious god whips up the universe to garner praise.
A mesmerist makes concrete the internal workings
of the mind. A new Adam and Eve emerge in the
unlikeliest of spaces.
Australia’s Back to Back Theatre is inarguably one of
the most exciting and urgent companies working in the
world today. Balancing on the liminal edge of possibility,
the company’s largest scale work to date charts deep
new trails into the landscape of the unconscious.
Collapsing the space between the epic and the everyday
and divining the mythic in the mundane, Lady Eats
Apple is a cosmic waltz from the Garden of Eden to
a medieval snowstorm to the urban jungle we live in.
