ABOUT
Cipta – Indonesian for to-create‘’; pronounced ‘CHIP-TA’
(think chipmunk 🐿)
…is a new UniMelb affiliated theatre company created to support emerging theatre-makers, especially theatre-writers who wish to stage their own original shows. We aim to develop new voices in the student theatre community and welcome all artists and theatre enthusiasts regardless of background.
The theatre group was founded in 2024 and created because we’ve noticed a lack of opportunities among other UniMelb theatre groups for theatre writers. While UniMelb has a rich and vibrant theatre community with a diverse range of theatre groups, Cipta is committed to the ‘creation’ part of theatre-making. We do not decide the style/genre/theme of your show, you do! And our focus is on emerging artists.

By Elizabeth Browne
"T-minus 2 hours until the end of the world…"
The country has voted to destroy itself via nuclear bomb. A whole population faces imminent death with no hope for survival. As Judy’s family (and others…?) share one last meal before ‘The End’, things start to preemptively fall apart.
A dinner worth dying for...
