Back to Back’s ‘Ganesh Versus the Third Reich’
Auslan interpreted and Audio Described on Thursday 6 October at 7.30pm.
Presented by Back to Back Theatre as part of the 2011 Melbourne Festival.
What if the story takes on its own life? What if it fights back?
The Nazis stole the swastika, an ancient icon of Hindu culture. Ganesh wants it back. Gods, like elephants, don’t forget.
Only Geelong’s bold Back to Back Theatre (Food Court, Small Metal Objects) could conjure an epic journey of an elephant-headed Hindu god who seeks to go one-on-one with Hitler. As our hero Ganesh cuts a swathe through Germany we embark on a wildly inventive ride through history, where sacred icons and rituals become weapons of theatrical production.
