Circle/دایره is a new performance work grown out of an intensive R+D process with collaborators Roxana Vilk and the Vilk collective. With sold out shows at Trinity, The Egg theatre and The Bristol Beacon this 30 minute sensory experience combines immersive sound and light with music and dance to explore what it means to share a space and the inclusive nature of these spaces.

Circle/دایره is the first in a series of live performance explorations with our AudioWave technology. In this work the audience experiences the piece live in the moment and can be anywhere around the circle, focus can be switch from the sound of Vilk Collective’s music to the light and sound of the Orbs, and the synergy between those aspects.

Taking place from March – October 2021 this project has taken the team on an incredible collaborative journey. Spending research and development time at Trinity Centre in Bristol, we experimented with the AudioWave technology, to fuse our expertise of creating sound and light artworks and the performance skills of Vilk Collective together to develop a new spatial composition that re-imagined how audiences experience our work.

Audiences have said that Circle/دایره creates its own unique world to experience, in a mesmerising, hypnotic and soothing way – especially welcome after the restrictions of the Covid Pandemic.

This R+D project was funded through a grant from Bristol and Bath Creative R+D through the Expanded Performance strand to create music in a whole ​new and inclusive way​.
