Search and Circumstance
These are the findings of a journey and a quest.
A meandering through barren days, bountiful days, dark days and light days. Through a world of fires, melting ice, political forces spinning in opposite directions, marvellous forests, immense greed, a ravaged earth, ballast and the search for gold.
A questioning between calm and rage.

Discourse
Hidden processes, obfuscation, obstruction, non-transparency. The withholding of knowledge that could be gained if everything were visible. Lack of information creates ambiguity. What is clear, however, is that enlightenment cannot be fully achieved. How important is it to reveal what is hidden?

Circle
Hermetic, although the view inside is unobstructed. Although everything is visible, not everything is recognisable. A play can only emerge when light falls into the interior from different angles. It may transpire that the unexpected comes to light. How important is it to get to the bottom of things?

Talk
The power of uttered words. How meaningful or nonsensical the proclamations are is left to
the interpretation of the audience. What is clear, however, is that once they are in the world and chronicled, they cannot be recaptured. How important is it to check exactly how one expresses oneself?
