small metal objects

Back to Back Theatre Company

30 November 1999

Directed by Bruce Gladwin In an age when our value and respect is calculated by our productivity, this hilarious and disturbing tale about two mens' accidental downfall of a business awards night will make you re-examine what is 'right'. The action unfolds against a backdrop of Perth's busy Forrest Place, with shoppers and commuters becoming unwitting extras in this quirky and surprising drama. Wearing headphones, the audience hears the dialogue and musical score as the miked-up actors move through the square. Award winning Small Metal Objects is a sold-out success wherever it goes. Seating is limited and each performance is unique. Get a ticket and enjoy the ride. Season: 10 - 24 February Monday - Thursday @ 6pm Fridays @ 8am & 5.15pm Saturdays @12 noon Venue: Forrest Place, Perth City Tickets: $25 standard Bookings: BOCS on 08 9484 1133 The Company: Back to Back Theatre was founded in Geelong in 1987 to create theatre with people perceived to have a disability. It has gone on to become one of Australia's leading creative voices, focusing on moral, philosophical and political questions about the value of individual lives. Back to Back's ensemble has a unique and sometimes subversive view of the world. Their stories explore 'the cold dark side' of our times, from genetic screening to what the current fixation with economic rationality and utilitarianism means for people excluded from the 'norm'.
