SWAMP – at the end of the world
A dark, brooding world seething with life and disaster.
Starring iconic Australian characters, brought to life in Snuff Puppets handmade style:
A crafty Magpie; A bloodthirsty Mosquito; A dopey Koala; An egocentric Lyrebird; A skittish Frilled-Neck Lizard; A grand old Thylacine; A poisonous Cane Toad; And a 22-meter Red-Bellied Black Snake devouring the cosmos.
A series of vignettes reveal nature’s fraught relationship with humans before Swamp plunges into a surreal and abstract world, with transforming sets, huge projections, and live music.
Swamp’s sold-out two-week season at Snuffest Festival earned it a spot in Melbourne’s Top 10 Shows of 2023 by ‘My Melbourne Arts’.
Swamp is now seeking touring opportunities both in Australia and internationally in 2024 and beyond.
SWAMP’s premiere supported by the Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund, Australia Council for the Arts, Creative Victoria, Maribyrnong City Council & Purple Hen Winery
