Of The Land On Which We Meet

Walking on stone and cement it can be hard to remember what it feels like to have earth beneath your feet. Of the Land on Which We Meet follows the journey of three contemporary Australian circus artists with distinct relationships with Country; an Indigenous Australian, a descendant of migrants, and a descendant of colonial settlers. The three performers are Johnny Brown, Manelaya Kaydos Nitis and Margot Mansfield. Using Na Djinang Circus' signature tone and style of physical representation of Indigenous forms merged with Western mediums, Of the Land on Which We Meet takes a closer look at the Acknowledgement of Country and searches for a way to address the possible lack of connection contemporary Australians have with the spirituality of the land and hopes to re-discover the connection we once had. 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. Duration: 70 minutes, no interval.
