Small Metal Objects

Synopsis:
From a specially erected bank of seats overlooking the main concourse, audience members don headphones and listen to a dialogue start up. the voices, we know, come from actors walking around inside the station. But which people are they? Him over there? No, he's a commuter, hurrying for his train. It is quite mesmerising to survey the ceaseless flow of humanity and to realise the deliciously ludic nature of this concept, devised byaus-tralia's Back to Back theatre. We might be watching but everyone else is also watching us, intrigued. even the police officers look curious.

Notes:
devised by Bruce Gladwin, Simon Laherty, Sonia Teuben, Genevieve Morris And Jim Russell
