Back to Back Theatre bring disability theatre to The Playhouse!

February 4, 2022

Our friends at Back to Back Theatre in Geelong are bringing their show 'The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes' to Canberra this May 11-13 at The Playhouse. Weaving a narrative through human rights, sexual politics, and the projected dominance of artificial intelligence, this new work is a sly theatrical revelation inspired by mistakes, mis-readings, mis-leadings and misunderstanding.

After consultation with the disability sector, Rebus' Disability Advisory Group, our participants, their carers, and families, the Rebus Board has made the difficult decision to delay the commencement of face-to-face lessons until the week of the 28 February 2022.

Rebus acknowledges the Ngunnawal people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work, and pays our respect to elders past, present and emerging.
