“Swamp… gigantic works of incredible art”– Artshub

SWAMP – at the end of the world 

An oily primordial muck where life begins with blood and ends with ash.

Swamp is an immersive theatrical experience, with giant puppets, transforming sets, original music and huge projections.

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 Serpent ouroboros puppet devouring the cosmos.

The second Swamp season in September 2023 also sold out and received a 5 Star review.
