FOOD COURT at the Adelaide Festival

The Adelaide Festival presents Australia’s leading disability theatre company, Back to Back Theatre and its production of FOOD COURT.

Back to Back Theatre is one of Australia’s leading contemporary theatre companies with an outstanding international reputation. Based in Geelong, Victoria, the multi-award winning company has toured performances to over 40 prestigious festivals and venues around the world.

Back to Back is driven by an ensemble of seven actors perceived to have intellectual disabilities and is uniquely placed to comment on the social, cultural, ethical and value-based structures that define the institution known as the ‘majority’. The ensemble create all of their own work through a process of research, improvisation and scripting in collaboration with the Artistic Director, Bruce Gladwin and guest artists.

Back to Back Theatre’s newest work FOOD COURT premiered in October 2008 as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival to sold out audiences and much critical acclaim.

Following presentations of FOOD COURT at the Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels and the Sydney Opera House in 2009, Adelaide Festival presents four shows only!

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 wells up.

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.
