Arterial

arterial
Presented By: Na Djinang Circus

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

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 Na Djinang Circus performance 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 Jason Renehan. 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 and its beating heart.

Na Djinang Circus envisions a bold future for Blak circus on unceded Indigenous lands, deeply informed by Indigenous Cultural knowledges and ways of being. Our purpose is to elevate Blak Australian circus nationally and internationally, fostering new practices, works, and futures through research, articulation, and agitation.

“I was deeply moved by the work of Na Djinang’s Arterial. … The performance for me showcased the new storytellers of our time, the holders, and caretakers of ancestral message.”
