Golden Slumbers - Performances

Building on the Welsh concept of Cwtch – a loving hold – Golden Slumbers is a highly visual and physical outdoor show exploring the endless cycle of labour experienced by women through their lives, and celebrating everyone’s right to a little rest and recuperation.

Gathered around a feather-filled golden bed, a vibrant mix of Movers and Musicians celebrate the endless toil, the juggling of priorities, the thankless tasks, alongside the joy and strength of friendship and community founded in the everyday muck of life. Liberace meets your mum sprinkled with a handful of Cwtch.
Moving Memory is a ground-breaking dance-theatre company that puts the older body centre stage. They’ve been making striking visual performances for public spaces, festivals and theatres for over a decade. Their work supports older people to have greater access to artistic and creative activities and challenges preconceptions of ageing.

Golden Slumbers is co-commissioned by Ideas Test and will form part of our Gather & Groove event.
