Community members can immerse themselves in the extraordinary talents of First Nations artists at Footscray Community Arts during the Deadly Fringe program, part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
This year’s program, which will run from October 1 to 20, promises a diverse and thought-provoking array of performances that reinforce First Nations voices and perspectives on stage.
For this year’s festival, Na Djinang Circus will collaborate with Circa Cairns to present In Place.
In Place is the culmination of a year-long journey where local participants tended to a native plant, fostering a deep connection with the land, their work and themselves.
This journey will be interwoven into the performance, merging artistic expression with nature to examine society’s impact on the environment and its profound resonance within us all.
Audiences can expect a stunning display of acrobatic skill and sophisticated storytelling.
Na Djinang Circus – a Melbourne-based contemporary circus company and a First Nations-led company – explores fundamental human characteristics from an Indigenous perspective. Its art and ethos reflect traditional and contemporary values.
Circa Cairns, supported by the Queensland Government and the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation, is dedicated to creating bold art from the nexus of place and culture.
