back rows
Theater's distant seating
The back rows are the seats farthest from the stage, screen, or front of a venue.
In theaters and cinemas, they offer privacy—traditionally where couples go to make out: We snuck off to the back rows.
In classrooms, the back rows suggest disengagement or rebellion, where students hide from the teacher's attention.
