Back to Back Theatre is located in Geelong in 1987. Its ensemble members all are diagnosed with intellectual disabilities. It focuses on moral, philosophical and political questions about the values of the individual lives that are scattered around different societies. It seeks to remove itself from the cultures and societies that are obsessed with beauty and perfection and expose the real outsiders of today. It thus provides a more unique view of the world.
I think their concepts and what they're doing - taking many risks - is very interesting. I didn't even know that such a theatre company existed! Upon further research, there are several companies around the globe that utilize disabled people! What a unique and creative way to exhibit diverse themes and cultures around the globe.
