Ocker is a roving circus adventure that transforms public space into a stage, inviting audiences to follow an unpredictable chase through Commonwealth Reserve, Williamstown. Presented as part of Melbourne Fringe Festival. 

Part performance, part absurd expedition, Ocker sees a troupe of circus artists laying a portable railway track in real time as they race after something perpetually just out of reach. Weaving through crowds, around trees and across open spaces, the performers create a constantly evolving experience where no two journeys are the same.
