A Back to Back Theatre production presented by Canadian Stage

Australia’s Back to Back Theatre is bringing The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes to Toronto, giving Canadians a rare chance to experience their internationally celebrated work.
Weaving a narrative through human rights, sexual politics, and the rise of artificial intelligence, The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes is a sly theatrical revelation reminding us that none of us are self-sufficient and all of us are responsible for the future.
Written and performed by neuro-divergent actors, this is a funny and beautiful play unlike anything else that will be seen on stage.
All performances will be presented with surtitles.
