NEW AUSTRALIAN WORK
WORLD
Premiere
Back to Back Theatre with The Necks
Food Court
On the back of several enormously successful international
tours with small metal objects, one of Australia’s most exciting
companies returns to Melbourne Festival with an anticipated
new work
“At once ingenious, provocative, disarming,
and extremely funny.”
Part concert, part theatre show, Food Court features the remarkable vision of
Back to Back Theatre and the music of The Necks, who improvise a driving
score for each performance.

Set in the lush minimalism of an illuminated white void, the story of one
woman’s humiliation is played out in a psychological space constructed from
light and sound. Luminously fragile, Food Court is a near death experience
in a suburban wonderland where a small fatality of dignity takes place
between The Asian Hut and The Juice Bar.
