BACK TO BACK THEATRE
WORLD PREMIERE
LADY
EATS
APPLE
Lady Eats Apple is about Gods and our
anxiety around our own death.
It’s about intelligence and what it means to be a
cracked vessel. It’s about Thanatos and curiosity,
about power and what you might need to get
it, about wanting to drive a car but not having a
licence. It’s about castration and empowerment.
It’s about our simultaneous desire for the myth
of limitation and the myth of progress.

AN INSECURE GOD
MATTER CREATES MATTER
THE HUMAN BOND
Australia’s Back to Back Theatre is inarguably
one of the world’s most exciting and urgent
companies working today, tirelessly charting
trails deeper into the landscape of the
unconscious.
Collapsing the space between the epic and the
everyday and divining the mythic in the mundane,
Lady Eats Apple is the company’s largest-scale
work to date: a cosmic dance from the Garden
of Eden to a medieval snowstorm to the urban
jungle we live in.
