Square Two is a journey of discovery into a wonderful world of codes and patterns. From the trees that grow in our street, the house in which we live in, to the path of life we follow, patterns and codes are the fundament of everything. Tall Tales Company and visual artist Don Satijn researched for two years how the underlying codes of each other's work relate to the rest of the world. The result is a route through a striking building, a part of a city or through nature, in which static art comes alive in hypnotic living juggling sculptures. Juggling patterns are captured in abstract paintings. Square Two is a visual performance that offers a completely new perspective on juggling, visual art and your own environment.
Square Two is an artistic experiment at the intersection of circus and visual arts. It’s a collaboration between Tall Tales Company and visual artist Don Satijn. In Square Two, the artistic team investigates the underlying codes in its own art forms. Juggling patterns are very often created from Siteswap, a language made up of mathematical series of numbers. The abstract geometric works of Satijn are also full of codes, magical squares and hidden messages. While corporate business and scientists are busy reducing our lives to algorithms and codes, Tall Tales Company is taking the opposite route. New movement material is created from codes in order to come alive in a match with architecture, public space and our emotional life.
