Song Circle
EverNow Festival, Perth, Western Australia 2023 and 2004
Over five nights in 2023 and four nights in 2024, Song Circle surrounded audiences with music, dance and light. This stunning performance was experienced from all sides as singers and instrumentalists performed songs in Noongar language by Maatakitj inspired by creatures and features of Noongar landscapes, with dancers responding to the music on a circle of sand.
