.A theatre show on a busy shopping street; part voyeuristic meditation, part urban thriller. Gary and Steve, the kind of men you wouldn't normally notice, unwittingly find themselves playing a pivotal role in the night of two ambitious executives they've arranged to meet for a transaction... amongst Cardiff's shoppers. A very different theatre experience, small metal objects unfolds amidst the crowds outside Queens Arcade on Queen St. From a raised seating bank with your own set of headphones, you are invited to eavesdrop on an intensely personal drama being played out somewhere in the crowd. Performed by award-winning Australian company Back to Back Theatre, small metal objects explores how society treats outsiders, through a funny, tender and startlingly intimate drama.Company Back to Back Theatre.

Australia's truly remarkable Back to Back Theatre will be performing small metal objects at The Podium in central Broadmead from 21- 24 May. Described as master provocateurs - they nudge and subvert audiences into seeing beauty where it is hidden. The company's work defies convention, challenges logic and questions the imperative to be ?normal'. Small Metal Objects unfolds amidst the high volume pedestrian traffic of the city. The audience is seated on a raised bank at one end of the space, individual sets of headphones providing an intimate and exclusive soundtrack of dialogue and music. small metal objects is the story of two invisible men and their inadvertent role in the downfall of a business awards night. A funny and disturbing examination of our cultural and individual identity and how our individual visibility is determined by our capacity to produce. Its theme has particular relevance for those who are traditionally perceived as less 'productive'- people with disabilities or the unemployed. The production is an examination of 'respect', or 'lack of respect', of not being seen and not being accounted for as full human beingsProducer Arnolfini. Producer Bristol Old Vic.
