Created by Harley Mann and the Circa Cairns Ensemble, THE WET will be presented in selected venues across Victoria this March.
You don’t know Far North Queensland if you haven’t experienced THE WET. From the moment the green ant’s journey to higher ground till the final breaking of the storm, THE WET connects you to place and immerses you in the hot damp.
THE WET has been created on country across Far North Queensland in response to the landscape and endless yarns with community. Drawing on these ancient stories of the wet tropics, this dynamic acrobatic show thrills while connecting everyone to country.
Circa Cairns is a new First Nations led circus ensemble creating exciting circus shows from the heart of Cairns. Conceived by Harley Mann (Wakka Wakka) and embodied by the Circa Cairns ensemble, THE WET is powerfully enduring circus, dripping with culture.
“THE WET is a celebration of First Nations culture and a remarkable exploration of contemporary circus,” said Mann. “It’s a journey through the land, the stories, and the people of Far North Queensland.”
“A beautifully paced story ebbing and flowing between moments of frenetic action and serene calm.” – ArtsHub
