Shwa Shwa Theatre Company presents
The Invaders’ Fear of Memories
A Play About the Colonisation of Palestine
Written and performed by Benjamin Rivers
Directed by Linda Wise
The play is presented with support from Ainslie and Gorman Arts Centre, Rebus: Theatre for Social Change, Palestine Action Group Canberra and the Australian Palestinian Advocacy Network.
“The Invaders’ Fear of Memories” is a solo theatre piece based on the life and diaries of Yousef Nachmani – a Russian Jew who migrated from Tsarist Russia to Ottoman Palestine in 1907. Nachmani became Director of the Jewish National Fund in the Galilee and subsequently played a central role in the ethnic cleansing of thousands of Palestine’s indigenous inhabitants.
The play offers a perspective into the origins of settler-colonialism and apartheid in modern-day Israel, exploring themes of loyalty, violence, ideology, and grief.
"The Invaders’ Fear of Memories" is performed by Ben Rivers, the great grandson of Nachmani. Over the course of the play, Rivers performs 12 characters and sings in Arabic, Hebrew, Ukrainian, and Yiddish.
The production is directed by Linda Wise, an original member of the iconic Roy Hart Theatre Company. Since August 2023, "The Invaders’ Fear of Memories" has been performed to audiences in Australia, France, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, Portugal and Ireland with upcoming shows planned for the USA.
