Black Swan State Theatre Company

Swan State Theatre Company is Western Australia’s Flagship Theatre Company and one of Australia’s foremost theatre companies.

Black Swan’s vision is to connect artists and audiences through the power of theatre to entertain, challenge and inspire.

We create exceptional, high-quality theatre that speaks to the world from our unique WA culture, landscape and moment in time.

Since its inception in 1991 under founding Artistic Director, Andrew Ross, Black Swan has been celebrated for its original theatrical works, Western Australian stories, site-specific and promenade productions, Perth Festival presentations, extensive national and international tours, and cross-cultural collaborations that uplift and celebrate Aboriginal artists.

We aim to remain true to this indomitable and inspired spirit to nurture works that reflect imaginatively on Black Swan’s place and time in bold and uncompromising ways, in ways that will make people take notice, and in ways that will endure.
