Lifts, dives, splits and acrobatics - they're just some of the exciting scenes audiences can look forward to in a new First Nations circus performance about to premiere in Melbourne, also known as Narrm."In Place", by the Na Djinang Circus, will open next week as part of the city's Fringe Festival.
"In Place is essentially a circus show that melds in dance and theatre as well to tell the story of an imagined kingdom that’s just lost its king, it's leader. It essentially tells the story of how this society comes together and mourns the death of their leader and then finds a new leader to pick and the process that takes and the effects it has on the people."
“They make up the space that the show happens in. So there are flips and dives and jumps over the top of and through these plants. For me the plants are a lot more about hope than about specifically something we climb on, but rather this hope for the future, these kind of saplings that could grow into more than they are today.”
