The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes

This is a new play which is to be performed in Jan. 2020 by Back to Back Theatre, an Australian troupe which includes members with disabilities.

Here is the description from https://backtobacktheatre.com/projects/shadow/

Five activists with intellectual disabilities hold a public meeting to start a frank and open conversation about a history we would prefer not to know, and a future that is ambivalent.

Weaving a narrative through the ethics of mass food production, human rights, the social impact of automation and the projected dominance of artificial intelligence in the world, The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes is about the changing nature of intelligence in contemporary society.

A theatrical revelation inspired by mistakes, misreadings, misleadings and misunderstanding, SHADOW reminds us that none of us are self-sufficient and all of us are responsible.

The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes will be performed at the Emerson Theatre in January 2020
