The Shwa Shwa Theatre team recently wrapped our 2025 creative development for The Hairy Ape, and the work continues to sit with us; wild, physical, tender, and full of that unmistakable Shwa Shwa energy.

Our ensemble threw themselves into the process with enormous trust and generosity, and the industry showing at the end of the week was a true highlight. It was thrilling to share a glimpse of this world with peers and colleagues, and to feel the excitement around where this piece is heading.

Here’s a little sneak peek of the show so far, e can’t wait to keep building this beast!

This Creative Development was funded by the ACT Government through their Arts Activity Funding.

Only 2 performances left! Thank you to ALANNA MACLEAN for her review of The Invaders' Fear of Memories

"Rivers is a slowly compelling performer, whether speaking, dancing or breaking into song; focused and skilled... A performance that educates and deepens an understanding of the reasons for the “fear of memories”.

"Ben Rivers is a slowly compelling performer, whether speaking, dancing or breaking into song; focused and skilled." ALANNA MACLEAN reviews The Invaders’ Fear of Memories.
