GOLDEN, a wordless dance film, uncovers the independence, intellectual curiosity, and sexual vibrancy hidden within the domestic life of a woman, as portrayed by a solo dancer. In dream-like sequences, she encounters the self she has been and the self that she can become. From her musings emerges a passionate declaration, elucidated by repeated choreographic motifs, flashbacks and flashforwards, and the evolution of color and set decor. GOLDEN affirms a woman’s right to define herself- rather than be defined by others - and counters the notion that aging women have an “expiration date” in terms of inherent value. In all, GOLDEN is a unique alchemy- from drudgery to sparkling beauty. Enjoy the trailer!
