Arterial is a contemporary circus work that reveals the unseen connections First Peoples share with each other, community, place, and country. Arterial is a celebration of culture; a fusion of contemporary dance and circus, directed by Waka Waka man Harley Mann (Circa, Circus Oz, Casus).
Inspired by the idea of arteries in the body, as well as in nature –in rivers, streams or roads–the work branches out past the audience and connects us to something bigger. The company’s incredible strength lies in the power of the human body, creating imagery and physical metaphors.
Na Djinang use circus as a medium for storytelling, incorporating culture into the works to create inclusive, diverse works that champions the voices of First Nations people. Arterial is a single moment that breaks the surface of Western understandings of connection and ripples out across place, people and time.
“The effervescence of Arterial wraps you up in joy, before leaving tear streaks across your cheeks. Our hearts are theirs when all is said and done.” – Time Out
This work was originally developed with Yirramboi Festival and with the support of the City of Melbourne and Creative Victoria
