Golden Ratio X
Golden Ratio X is a literary/theatre hybrid with dance performance. Much of the story takes place in the mind of Blaze, a stripper who must rectify her own identity and sense of purpose as she navigates the complicated nuances of lap dancing in the Mitchell Brothers' OFarrell Theatre, San Francisco, circa 1986. In between scenes in the dressing room about spirituality and history versus the universal truths of the Golden Ratio and scenes in the OFarrell audience where Blaze navigates the complicated nuances of lap dancing, dancers will perform in the style of 1980's striptease. The story deals with mature subject matter, but is not X-rated.
