When was the last time you only focussed on one thing? An investigation of BACKGROUND NOISE by Sydney's most exciting up and coming theatre makers.
Whether it's the T.V going in another room while you're trying to listen to Cowboy Carter for the first time, the haunting background presence of one's past, or the person gabbin' loudly on the bus behind ya- BACKGROUND NOISE is increasingly present in all of our lives and theatre is one of the only places where we find a reprieve from viscerally present background stimulus. (Or is it?) Emerging NIDA students and the wider Sydney theatre community will bring together 3 short works picking apart BACKGROUND NOISE, screen and focus content and where our attention goes.
