TWO BODIES IN DIALOGUE.
A FIELD OF SENSORY SIGNS.
AN EXPOSED MECHANISM.

GOLDEN THREADS IS A PERFORMANCE THAT EXPLORES THE HIDDEN AND UNCANNY FORCES OF AN ENTITY: A SYSTEM IN MOTION THAT UNFOLDS THROUGH TWO BODIES, A STAGEHAND, AND A SERIES OF STATIONS WHERE ITS PRESENCE EMERGES. AN ANATOMY LAID BARE. IT PROPOSES A VISION OF THE BODY FROM WITHIN, WHERE MACRO AND MICRO SCALES MIRROR ONE ANOTHER, AND MEANING ARISES FROM THE INTERLOCKING GEARS OF ITS COMPONENTS.

LIGHT, SOUND, AND MOVEMENT AS MATERIAL AND LANGUAGE. THE LIGHT IS NOT THEATRICAL LIGHTING, BUT SCULPTURAL, SHAPING A SERIES OF INTERCONNECTED STATIONS ACROSS THE STAGE, CONSTANTLY IN DIALOGUE AND ALLOWING THE AUDIENCE TO BE IMMERSED IN THE BODY. 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 EXTENSIONS OF THE BODY, TRANSFORMING PHYSICAL MOVEMENT INTO A LINGUISTIC AND SONIC EXPERIENCE.
