Philadelphia Live Arts Festival Presents: "Food Court" by Back to Back Theatre, U.S. Premiere Performance!

Experience a thrilling theater and concert performance by one of Australia's leading creative voices. FOOD COURT by Back to Back Theatre is the story of a woman's struggle with power, violence, and body image, performed by a company of artists with perceived intellectual disabilities. The show challenges audiences to confront their definition of other through an unpredictable rollercoaster of digital projections, shadows, and emotion underscored by a live music score by The Necks, one of the great cult bands of Australia.

In the long silence that followed, before the lights came up and the audience broke into a storm of applause, I think everyone there was holding their breath. 'Stunned' is a word that is easily reached for, but in this case, I think it's a precise description.
