Synopsis: When Hugo, a so-called ‘Runner’, breaks into Anna’s apartment in the middle of the night, he tells her that Spiritus is in danger and convinces her to leave the apartment. They sprint through the crumbling city, as fighter jets fly overhead and screams fill the air. Anna and Hugo try to catch a train that they eventually miss, so they are forced to enter the West Spiritus Bunker, which is virtually empty. They meet Sarah, a woman who lost her son when the explosions began, and a Runner named Lorenze.

The four of them try to get to Monte, a town in Greenville known for its defences against all types of attack, and the only place rumoured to be safe. Anna, Hugo, Lorenze and Sarah find themselves traversing all of Phanama, and even meet with DSTGR, the organisation wreaking havoc all over the country. They eventually manage to catch a train to Monte but, even then, the path is not a straight line.

Additional Information: The name of the show, 'DSTGR', is a reference to the fictional organisation DSTGR that is the main antagonist of the series. DSTGR is an abbreviation for the Phanaman word 'distruggerre' which means 'destruction' in Austral.

Choir recording:
He who was a pilgrim
Set foot in the valley
Of darkness that it is
Mud on the ground there is
Storms on the clouds above
Creatures poisonous here and there
Hills and peaks here and there
But he could not give up
His old village was all dead
Left to ruins, no one spared
They all showed no mercy
He then looked off a cliff
A village so pristine
It was like light at the end
of the tunnel so he stood
so proclaims Artemis
Artemis (the pilgrim):
How pristine
How so clear
I can see it
from right here
I proclaim
the sacred land
Heinesmund
You shall be blessed
Choir recording:
So he took a step
off the cliff
The village opened
He blessed them
Shield from harm
Shield from pain
then storms came
The demons came
Unleashing dread
Theodore forced
them all outside
but Artemis
He then returned
with a dead child
His dying wish
To see them all
The lake he needed to see
Artemis (the pilgrim):
I beg for your mercy
Theodore please
Before I leave
He wanted to see
The lake in here that
was blessed by thee
He wanted to see it all
As his dying wish
Now at his new home
Fulfilling his wish
Theodore, the king of the raiders + the raiders crowd:
That monster
killed that child
Our war is still unreconciled
Let him die
Let him bleed
He committed sin
No mercy for him
Theodore:
I will not
give you mercy
Your death brings
our pleasure indeed

<silence as transition goes to Artemis' death>
Artemis: 
I would not come here
Just to die

<silence as transition skips one line>

Choir recording:
The gods who saw this mess
Punished them with regret
They can't see their right or wrongs
Even through their own brain

<silence as transition skips the rest of the line>

Many years
Many tears
The village
Once pristine
Abandoned now
For no more shall
A pilgrim set foot
On this cursed land

A question that remains unanswered
A question that has weight that is
A question that will make one fall
A question that is over all
In this dimension that is
For everyone to see
The question that is sacred
"Why wouldn't he grant his wish?"

Performance: The actors play out the crowd, Artemis, and Theodore respectively. The stage background screen will set the scene accordingly to the lyrics. The choir recording will be played as audio on the speakers and video on the screen.

Synopsis: Following the previous two films, Circles and Circles in the City (Also known as Circles II), our beloved circles now know how to return to their home world. However, after destroying the city, Prigallun, and killing all the inhabitants brutally in the previous film, every military in the world is now coming to destroy these circles whatever the cost. Will our circle friends survive not just the desert, but armies, planes, tanks, missiles, and NUKES? And who is that mysterious orange circle...

Character Summaries

Captain Blue is the leader of the other circles with him. They are an honest and good circle, and would risk their own life to save their circle friends. However, they are starting to question if Captain Blue is actually going in the right direction, as this desert seems to be endless...

Inky loves to play and have fun, however, this often draws the others into trouble as Inky often wanders off. Inky is very loyal to Captain Blue, and does not mean to upset them. But Inky struggles to have fun in such a barren land as a desert...

Captain Blue’s child, Reddy is eager to be a leader, just like their parent, but is treated as a child by everyone else, angering Reddy...

Back in Circle World, Dr. Green would heal the injured and dying circles, and is beginning to question if what they did in the city was right. Dr. Green is starting to question Captain Blue, who seems to have no care for all the people they murdered in the city...

Contrary to their name, Sunshine loves to kill, torture people and has a thirst for blood. But in a desert where no food is in sight, Sunshine may turn to the others into lunch..

The Circles met the orange circle in the desert. While Captain Blue welcomed them into the crew, the others are less enthusiastic. Orange says very little, so Inky thinks they are boring; Reddy likes to oppose Captain Blue in any way he can, so Reddy refuses to be nice to Orange; Dr. Green is suspicious of where Orange came from and why they act so quietly; and Sunshine simply thinks them as food.

General Haruth is leader of the WCAC (World Coalition Against Circles), and sees no reason to not go all out on the circles, despite what others advise. Haruth’s home, family and friends were all in Prigallun, which the circles destroyed.

Summaries of Previous Films

Circles was released in 2016, as we saw our four circle friends arrive in a mysterious world (Pacifica) in a forest. Captain Blue and their child, Reddy, must unite the others together or else they will never return home. As Inky wanders off on their own adventures, Dr. Green studies this world, and Sunshine hunts for food; things only get worse when Captain Blue and Reddy are separated by some human hunters...

Circles in the City/Circles II was released in 2019, following up the results of the previous film. They come across a city, filled with humans. After what the humans did to them last time, Captain Blue gives the team full permission to destroy it and all the inhabitants. Watch as Reddy leads Inky and Sunshine into battle; as Dr. Green creates acids and things that will destroy the city to the ground; as Inky steals everything the humans own; as Sunshine eats everyone for dinner; and as Captain Blue discovers a secret... the way home.

EDIT: Here are the posters for the previous films because why not?
