The Golden Time

A broken family letter, a period of dusty times. After brushing away the dust of history, a piece of the past that is either happy or sad, longing or melancholy is displayed in front of me. People come in pursuit of a better life and they are gone for dreams. They are silent but they should not be forgotten. The yellowed old photos, the incomplete historical relics, and the letters to the family that were not sent all tell the story of the hard time of the early Chinese settlers during the Gold Rush. This is a theatrical performance with live band, dance and actors.
