A BODY IN DIALOGUE.
A FIELD OF SENSORY SIGNS.
A CRYPTIC EXPERIENCE.

GOLDEN THREADS EXPLORES THE HIDDEN, UNCANNY NATURE OF ENTITIES — WHERE ATYPICAL PHENOMENA REVEAL BODIES ENGAGED IN CONSTANT CONVERSATION WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENT, SEARCHING DEEPER WELLS OF MEANING BEYOND THE PHYSICAL.

WITHIN THIS ENIGMATIC SPACE, BLIND SPOTS IN COMMUNICATION EMERGE AND HYBRID AND ENIGMATIC FORMS TAKE SHAPE.

THE PIECE INVITES THE AUDIENCE INTO A SENSORY, PHYSICAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL JOURNEY, WHERE EVERY ELEMENT — LIGHT, SOUND, MOVEMENT — IS INTERCONNECTED, FORMING A WHOLISTIC AND HYBRID EXPERIENCE.

THE PERFORMANCE USES LIGHT, SOUND, AND MOVEMENT AS MATERIAL AND LANGUAGE — LIGHT IS DESIGNED AS EXPOSURE AND INSTALLATION, NOT THEATRICAL LIGHTING. THIS CREATES A SERIES OF INTERCONNECTED STATIONS ACROSS THE SCENE, CONSTANTLY IN DIALOGUE, ALLOWING THE AUDIENCE TO BE IMMERSIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THE WORK.

THE SONIC ENVIRONMENT IS COMPOSED OF FIELD RECORDINGS, OLD CASSETTES PROVIDING RHYTHMIC GUIDELINES AND NOTES, AND LIVE-GUITAR PEDAL EFFECTS THAT MODIFY THE SOUND IN REAL TIME, CREATING A TOTAL ATMOSPHERE. CONTACT MICROPHONES ARE ALSO USED AS AN EXTENSION OF THE BODY, TRANSFORMING THE PHYSICAL MOVEMENT INTO A LINGUISTIC AND SONIC EXPERIENCE.
