In Place

World Premiere Melbourne Fringe 2024

A ground-breaking work of scale and duration set in Footscray Arts Centre’s outdoor Amphitheatre. 

For just under a year local community members cared for and nurtured a native plant in their homes, some of them thrived and some died. These plants are then recollected and planted into the twisted organic set, the deviation from nature setting the scene of warped discordance that echos through the performance. 

The Country informs the knowledge. Knowledge creates story. Stories shape the people and Culture. Where do we stand when Country is displaced and divided?

This work of spectacular acrobatic skill tells a story of hierarchy, division and connection. This unmissable intertwining of storytelling and design marks Na Djinang’s most ambitious work to date.
