The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes
Theater
If artificial intelligence took over the world, would humans end up living with intellectual disabilities? Three activists rise up against this fate and organise a public meeting. The aim is to sift through the scourges of our time to save the world from mass food overproduction, social breakdowns and human rights abuses. The group soon finds itself confronted with fundamental social issues: who and how are decisions made? Which ones have founded our democracies? From mistakes to misunderstandings, from biases to deceptions, the mentally handicapped actors of the Australian company Back to Back Theatre go through the fragility of the chain of responsibility with relevant acuity. The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes is a theatrical revelation that leads to revolution: Disability activism, now!
