Set to a score performed and recorded by Barton and the Australian String Quarteton 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 the Australian String Quartet’s 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.
