Ocker
BY NA DJINANG CIRCUS
PRESENTED BY MELBOURNE FRINGE, SUPPORTED BY FED SQUARE
Australia’s leading First Nations-led contemporary circus company present a brand new moveable acrobatic work throughout Fed Square as part of Melbourne Fringe.
Forget Poetic. This is Aussie culture chewed up and spewed onto the streets.
A show in motion, Ocker is a roving circus show tearing through the square on a portable railway track built in real time. This modern-day hunting party weaves through crowds, laying track wherever the chase leads. Down laneways, through parks, and over tram lines, the troupe is chasing something just out of reach.
Charging forward with single-minded determination, they drag the audience along for the ride. The city becomes a playground for strange encounters, risky acrobatics, and absurd acts of endurance as circus erupts in the most unexpected places. Improvised scenes constantly derail the hunt as the troupe negotiates crowds, obstacles, and their own terrible ideas.
Swept up in the chaos of the chase, Ocker waits for nobody. Keeping up is entirely your responsibility.
