Lady Eats Apple
BACK TO BACK THEATRE
08—13 October
PAST EVENT
WORLD PREMIERE
A vital sense-sharpening tonic for theatregoers who feel they’ve seen it all.
Director BRUCE GLADWIN
Devisors and Performers MARK DEANS, SIMON LAHERTY, ROMANY LATHAM, BRIAN LIPSON, SARAH MAINWARING & SCOTT PRICE
We are finite in an infinite world: the punchline of existence is how little of it we're given.
An anxious god whips up the universe to garner some praise. A mesmerist makes concrete the internal workings of a woman's mind. A new Adam and Eve emerge in the unlikeliest of spaces.
Australia's Back to Back Theatre is unarguably one of the world's most exciting and urgent companies working today, tirelessly charting trails deeper 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 the company’s largest-scale work to date: a cosmic dance from the Garden of Eden to a medieval snowstorm to the urban jungle we live in.
