Ganesh Versus the Third Reich

Ganesh Versus the Third Reich is a theatrical drama production by Back to Back Theatre. The work follows the elephant-headed god Ganesha travelling through Nazi Germany to reclaim the Swastika, an ancient Hindu symbol. As the narrative unfolds, a second storyline emerges where the actors themselves grapple with the ethical responsibilities of storytelling and questions of cultural appropriation. The production challenges audiences to examine the distinction between perception and reality, exploring who has the right to tell a story and who has the right to be heard. After 15 years touring prestigious stages worldwide, the production has become a legendary work known for its innovative approach to theatrical storytelling.
