HEXADECA arrives in Rundle Mall

After an enthralling debut at WOMADelaide 2022, HEXADECA comes to Rundle Mall with a dream-like installation of custom-built spinner seats, inviting exploration and interaction from participants from all walks of life. People of all ages and abilities are encouraged to engage with the seats however they see fit - whether it's finding a spot to sit and enjoy, spinning the seats to activate sound, or observing as interaction dictates which singular elements of a whole musical score are heard.

The architecturally-designed aural playground draws upon modern technology and collaborations with composers and musicians to invite the public to become the conductor. The genre diverse, bespoke music for the work has been written and recorded in South Australia by leading musicians including Adam Page, Tom Thum, and Adelaide’s own all female choir Aurora (Young Adelaide Voices).

Created by Pulsing Heart, HEXADECA is presented as part of ADL Unleashed, a joint initiative of the Government of South Australia, the Adelaide Economic Development Agency (AEDA) and the City of Adelaide.

Explore HEXADECA near the Gawler Place Canopy from Saturday 14 May - Thursday 2 June.
