The fall of patriarchal power through a fragmented journey through King Lear's memory is the premise that sustains this contemporary perspective on the Shakespearean classic, where the internal confrontations between father and daughter and the consequences of power take center stage. Among them, a young figure—the jester, the echo, the bridge—bursts forth with truths that can no longer be silenced because in Lear, time stops moving; it repeats itself, dissolves, and opens like a wound that transforms the old King's memory into a battlefield.

Gold Dust Lounge is the uniquely Miami brainchild of guitarist-composer Russell Mofsky. His music is an amalgamation of his eclectic influences, ranging from surfy jazz to cool lounge noir and punk meets Americana — resulting in a sound that is energetic and eminently listenable. Arranged in a quartet featuring guitar, violin, bass and drums, no two Gold Dust Lounge performances are alike, which makes it such a treat for listeners.
