Every part of Australia is,
always was and always will be,
Aboriginal land.

As a community gathering-place, a festival of arts, cultural exchange and celebration and as a site for the sharing of ideas and stories, Ten Days on the Island pays respect to the Palawa/Tasmanian Aborigines – The original owners and cultural custodians - of all the lands and waters across Lutruwita/Tasmania upon which our Festival takes place.

With thanks to the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre for place names and other words in palawa kani, the language of Tasmanian Aborigines.

Interloper is a celebration of mundane human existence featuring five highly skilled circus artists who, at heart, are just like you.

These five extraordinary artists will drop your jaw to the floor, then pick it back up for a good laugh, only to take your breath away all over again.

Lutruwita/Tasmania’s own circus company ROOKE burst into life in 2022 as a bold new voice in Australian contemporary circus with the sell-out success of Interloper.

Wise, poetic yet dazzling, Interloper observes our response to the arrival of an uninvited stranger; a complex individual with baggage and wisdom, love and depth, struggles and triumphs. It’s an invitation to walk into a world you never knew existed, a place of harmonious dissonance. Of course, the greatest interloper is often not a person at all, but a larger force beyond anyone’s control.

Born in a creative journey interrupted and re-routed many times through the pandemic, Interloper is ROOKE’s love letter to circus and to audiences. It says “this artform is for you, for all humans”.
