Back to Back Theatre:

The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes

How do we come together to make decisions that are in the best interest of a civic society?

Weaving a narrative through human rights, sexual politics, and the projected dominance of artificial intelligence, The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes is a sly theatrical revelation inspired by mistakes, misreadings and misunderstandings. It reminds us that none of us are self-sufficient and all of us have individual and collective responsibility.
