In Folds of Gold

142 Throckmorton Theatre's In Folds of Gold features famous performance artist, Sha Sha Higby, in a showcase of her evocative sculptural costumes and puppetry. 

Legendary international artist, Sha Sha Higby, whirls within a densely, lacelike thicket of silver filligree in  her  latest work  "In Folds of Gold", a premier of exotic sculptural costume & puppetry dance, in a profound drama of  memory and timelessness. Known world-wide for her provocative and haunting performances, Higby is influenced by her studies in Asia, Noh Theater, Butoh, shadow puppets.

In Folds of Gold explores a whimsical journey of life, death, and rebirth through mesmerizing delicate ephemeral images that evoke the passage of time and day, or the shifting of the seasons. Using the painterly manipulation of hand crafted materials and textures interwoven with a labyrinth of intricate props and puppets, Higby's work creates a journey in which movement and stillness meet. Don't miss this unique performance on August 20th.
