The project The Golden Age (La Edad de Oro), awarded with a number of international prizes, is a manifestation-spectacle of a personal expression performed by three protagonists: a guitar player, a singer and a flamenco dancer, who play out a mysterious story. The Golden Age is a state of mind and spirit. The title evokes past times and brings us back to the golden age in every sense. The golden ages closest to the protagonists are "the historical Golden Age”, "the mythical Golden Age” and "the present-day Golden Age”. But we mustn’t lose sight of these mental references, even though they are eclipsed or concealed.
The Golden Age is the playing out of complexities – relations between singing, movement and guitar. The Golden Age is a play of time in a series of classical, reflexive and resonant techniques. Yet we must not overlook shadows … as "the Golden Age” is always a time of mirages and illusions.
