Far North Queensland’s dry season brings an anticipation into the Country that pulsates through its people.
Circa Cairns returns to place with THE DRY, the second work in a series of extraordinary encounters between the body and Country.
Inspired by this sun soaked landscape, THE DRY is a raw cry of joy and mischief from the vibrant people who call this parched land home.
Blending elite skill, Cultural knowledge and a touch of sass, the Circa Cairns ensemble draws upon elements of the dry season to breathe life back into circus.
