Description:
Using a timeless tale as inspiration, "GOLD" deconstructs the Rumpelstiltskin story, testing the limits of abstraction to encourage deeper engagement with the philosophical & socio-political themes of the work: who does or should hold legitimate or illegitimate power? How do those with power manipulate the vulnerable?
Multiple characters played by three vocalists (including the composer herself), an instrumental chorus, and projections form a collage of colliding ideas, languages, perspectives and meanings.
