Of The Land on Which We Meet

Visit the Drum Theatre during Reconciliation Week for a dynamic performance of acrobatic skill and storytelling. 

Tickets are free or pay as you feel.

Of the Land on Which We Meet asks us to reflect on the past, embrace the present, and look towards a more united future. This mesmerising performance 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.

Be memorised by the three performers, 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. 

**As seen at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe "Of the Land on Which We Meet is a meta circus performance, a profound commentary on the importance of acknowledgement and connection to Country and a powerful call to truth-telling and accountability. It fully deserved its standing ovation on opening night and deserves to sell out the rest of its run. " - Arts Hub
