Sunrise on Other Worlds / Squidsoup

Sunrise on Other Worlds is an abstract immersive installation and performance by Squidsoup that envisions the sunrise and sunset cycles of imagined alien worlds. It transports audiences across distant terrains - gas giants, molten metallic landscapes, barren moons - in an unfolding, shifting rhythm of their days.

Extending ideas explored in Squidsoup's Sola, Light Henge and Three Volumes, the piece takes the form of a looping, multi-movement experience inspired conceptually by Holst's The Planets, and by the dramatic atmospheres of J. M. W. Turner and John Martin.

Drones and grand distorted guitars drift and evolve across a custom octophonic sound system, surrounding audiences in an immersive sonic field, while fields of colour emerge, dissolve, and shift between light and darkness - creating an environment that feels both monumental and intimate.

Sunrise on Other Worlds translates the complexity of other worlds into sensory experience, accessible through presence, perception, and imagination. It invites reflection on the vastness of the universe and our place within it, and offers a space for wonder.

There will be a Q&A with the artists after the show.
