Oranges and Lemons is an immersive, sound-led performance work for three actors and musician, with text by playwright-performer Glace Chase and sound and music by 2025 Assemblage Artist in Residence, composer-performer Basil Hogios.

Three figures are trapped in an increasingly unstable web of intimacy, memory, and emotional dependency, shaped by the extraordinary musical sensitivity of its central character, whose inner world gradually begins to overwhelm the reality around them.

The piece is staged within Flinders’ 32-speaker ambisonic environment “The Cube” and Hogios and Chase are joined on stage by the 2026 Drama Centre International Visiting Artist Gerrard McArthur and Third Year student of the Bachelor of Performance – Acting, Oscar Baldwin, directed by Dr Christopher Hurrell.

Drawing on minimalist compositional structures, patterns of repetition and variation, and the unstable dynamics of memory and perception, the work places the audience inside an evolving sonic landscape that shifts fluidly around and through them. In this creative development presentation, Hogios performs the full score live, manipulating keyboard, electronics, and spatial diffusion in real time as the performers navigate a fractured and intimate dramaturgy shaped by pressure, rhythm, and proximity. The result is a hybrid theatrical and musical experience in which immersive sound actively constructs the emotional, psychological, and spatial world of the performance.

One of the key recommendations of the 2018 Australian Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety was that Australia needed to do more to keep people in their homes.

That shift has happened and we are now a country that care mostly for our elders in their own homes rather than in residential care facilities.

While residential aged care still has its place, research teams at Flinders University – including the Ageing Alliance – have been dedicating more time and attention to understanding what it truly takes to support older individuals to live independently at home, minimise risks, and age well.

Hear from award-winning ageing researcher Professor Maria Inacio, and a panel of Ageing Alliance members about Flinders latest research on new models of care that bring together healthcare professionals and services from various sectors to work as a team and improve care in the home for older Australians.

Thursday 23 July, 5:30pm – 7:00pm

5:30pm – 6pm Networking and light refreshments
6:00pm – 7:00pm Keynote address followed by panel discussion and audience Q&A
