I noticed this inside the Barclay while setting up for Man of La Mancha (which you all should totally see by the way - shameless plug).
I kept trying to figure out how this pattern was being made and reached the conclusion that maybe the balcony extension cuts of the light in this shape creating a pattern, perhaps a gobo like effect on some of the walls of the Barclay. This was fascinating because I was not able to immediately identify the source and I thought it was pretty cool how the light formed patterns so clearly without the gobo. From one angle it looks like a misshapen double infinity and from another angle it is like the two arches intersecting each other. Somewhat as shown in the picture below.
This is the Napier bridge from my native city Chennai which is in India and seeing that pattern on the wall immediately reminded me of this bridge. They do have their differences but I loved the immediate connect I felt. (I did not take the picture of the bridge. Sourced from Google Images).
Are you sure those reflections of light aren't houselights that are deep set in recessed cans in the ceiling? It looks like it's the house light itself, as well as the highlight from the can (probably aluminum, acting like a reflector) which creates that weird line of light in a circle...cool pattern! and neat bridge!
