Arterial

An invigorating and moving performance that celebrates what it means to be First People—the lifeblood of this country.

Touring as part of the 2024 Touring Services Program

A moving acrobatic performance linking people, country and culture, where the unseen bonds between the body and the land become beautifully visible. 

This award-winning production from Na Djinang Circus explores the ancient connections tying First Nations people together, strong through bloodlines but irreparably damaged through colonisation. 

Four performers connect with each other physically and spiritually in a display of breathtaking acrobatics scored by avant-garde sound designer Danni Esposito

Arterial will both excite and move you as the performers celebrate what it means to be First People—the lifeblood of this country. The land its beating heart.
