Pour son édition 2026, le Festival d’Automne consacre un Portrait à la compagnie australienne Back to Back Theatre.

Depuis près de 40 ans, la compagnie occupe une place singulière dans le paysage contemporain. Son travail se distingue par un engagement fort en faveur de l’inclusion des personnes neurodivergentes, présent à tous les niveaux de sa création : dans la professionnalisation des interprètes, comme dans la conception et l’écriture des pièces.

Ce Portrait esquisse les contours d’une œuvre en mouvement, qui interroge les conventions et renouvelle le regard porté sur le handicap.

🔗 Retrouvez le programme complet du Portrait Back to Back Theatre sur festival-automne.com à partir du 29 mai.

For its 2026 edition, the Festival d’Automne is dedicating a Portrait to the Australian company Back to Back Theatre.

For nearly 40 years, the company has held a singular place in the contemporary landscape. Its work is defined by a strong commitment to the inclusion of neurodivergent people, at every level of its practice: from the professional development of performers to the conception and writing of its works.

This Portrait sketches the outlines of an evolving body of work that questions conventions and renews the way disability is seen.
