Esmeralda Ahlqvist “GOLDIE”

Performance art meets video art in a musical about loneliness and failure

GOLDIE is a space where performers and video storytellers, poets and predators, and losers of transcendental superiority composes a three dimensional and ruthless musical and visual landscape. The ambiguous conflict between submission and independence is presented in a choreographic interplay throughout different technical media, film and theatre.

Hounds, wizards, royalty and other unreliable narrators at risk of spontaneous disintegration, in an unpolished and lonely anti-pursuit for subcultural belonging. About self pity and endless attempts at authentic rapture and euphoria, vulnerable and naive through serenades in terms of outdoor city saunas, moonlight combat and empty nests.
