Over the last thirty years, Back to Back Theatre has made a body of work that questions the assumptions of what is possible in theatre, and the assumptions we hold about ourselves and others. The stories we pursue weave the personal, the political and the cosmic. Seeking to make a body of work that exists in repertoire across time, the company has toured extensively locally, nationally and internationally to the world’s leading festivals and cultural institutions. Over the last decade, Back to Back Theatre has presented over 48 national and 74 international seasons of its theatre works, receiving 18 national and international awards including Performance Studies International’s Artist-Scholar- Activist Award, a Helpmann Award for Best Australian Work, an Edinburgh International Festival Herald Angel Critics’ Award and a Green Room Award for Best Ensemble. The company also has a proud history of collaborative community film-making spanning decades, most recently including multiple RADIAL and THE DEMOCRATIC SET short films, the 2018 series pilot ODDLANDS with Matchbox Pictures, and the soon to be released short animated TV series FIRST RESPONDERS. SHADOW is our first feature-length film. Our repertoire of screen-based works regularly appears in film festivals and on streaming and broadcast platforms around the world. In 2020 Back to Back Theatre established Back to Back Pictures Pty Ltd. through which SHADOW and future screen projects will continue to be realised.
