Adelaide Fringe 2022 features First Nations contemporary circus

Adelaide Fringe festival is featuring First Nations contemporary circus - 'Common Dissonance' –produced by Na Djinang Circus and directed by company founder and Wakka Wakka man, Harley Mann.

Na Djinang Circus develops work that explores new ways of presenting circus that is accessible for both frequent circus audiences and all members of the community.

'Common Dissonance' is a contemporary circus work depicting the struggle between traditional and modern modes of reasoning. Featuring two performers with shared and distinctly individual experiences, this work aims not only to explore the harmony and conflict of contemporary Australian reasoning, but to find a Common Dissonance.

Na Djinang Circus is working towards producing contemporary circus by and for young Australians establishing their social and artistic identity. With the company, Mann wants to “showcase the talent and unique insight of the next generation.”

Na Djinang Circus is known for being a First Nations led company and the directorial style of their work imbues traditional and contemporary styles of performance with stories, images, and qualities of indigenous performance, rituals, and iconography.

This event is taking place at one or more venues that require proof of double vaccination or exemption upon entry. Please check the performance listing for the vaccination icon ahead of purchase.
