AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Step inside the filming of a 1970s Aussie action flick and get up close and personal with the actors and their extraordinary stunt doubles. Watch them cycle through take after take of high octane stunts; flips, jumps, fights and more as the doubles put their bodies on the line while the actors reap the glory.

'Stunt Double is a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek dive into the complex and absurd power dynamics of the film industry, into exploitation as a bloodsport, and the human cost of celebrity. In Stunt Double it’s the hardest working people who get paid the least and exploited the most. Sound familiar? That’s because some things never change.

'Some members of the audience will get to experience this first hand as they help bring this film to life, stepping into roles such as extras, gaffer, clappers, art department and more.

'Inspired by films such as Wake In Fright, Razorback and BMX Bandits, Stunt Double is sure to be an unforgettable ride, and yet another genre-bending blockbuster by groundbreaking dance and theatre collective, The Farm – Produced by Performing Lines.'
