Synopsis
Walking on stone and cement it can be hard to remember what it feels like to have earth beneath our feet.
Na Djinang Circus hopes to re-discover a connection we once had. Through impressive acrobatic skill and personal storytelling, Of The Land on Which We Meet follows the journey of three contemporary Australian circus artists with distinct relationships to Country; an indigenous Australian, a descendant of migrants, and a descendant of colonial settlers. As we question what it means to be where we are.
Supported by Melbourne Fringe, The City of Melbourne, The City of Maribyrnong, Craig Semple, Creative Victoria, Creative Australia, The Women’s Circus and Regional Arts Victoria.

Na Djinang Circus is a Melbourne based contemporary circus company working with diverse young artists to share unique insight with the next generation’s Hands & Feet.
Founded by Wakka Wakka man Harley Mann, Na Djinang Circus aims to develop work that utilises the next generation’s social and political attitudes and tell stories that challenge our own perceived ideas about contemporary Australian society. Their work explores fundamental human characteristics from an indigenous perspective, using the body to demonstrate complex human experiences of trust, connection, vulnerability, and joy.
Na Djinang Circus is known for being a First Nations led company and their art and ethos reflect traditional and contemporary values. They are curios, original and free to make mistakes. They believe as artists they have the power to shape audiences’ opinions and help create change.
Na Djinang Circus is generously supported by Creative Australia, Creative Victoria, The City of Melbourne and Regional Arts Victoria.
