FREE EXPERIENCE
Square Circles is a free installation, playing from 6.30pm, Wednesday—Saturday, during the event dates. No registration is required and this experience is suitable for all ages.
Explore Country, culture and dreaming through an immersive artwork.
Square Circles uses emerging digital storytelling to create a visual landscape which draws from William Barton’s country, culture and dreaming through the music of William along with long-time friend and collaborator, former ASQ violist Stephen King, and the Australian String Quartet.
Set to a score performed and recorded by us and William Barton on Peramangk Country at UKARIA Cultural Centre, this stunning blend of music and visual artistry from Go Patterson Films and Jumpgate offers a rare fusion of culture and technology.
The work, directed by Barton and our former violist, Stephen King, was premiered in a pop-up ‘dome’ inside the Queen’s Theatre in Playhouse Lane in the Adelaide CBD, as part of the Illuminate Adelaide Festival and has been re-imagined for this space at Sydney Opera House.
