‚New gold' is a playful, witty and completely irreverent look at competition and winning, as four unlikely characters explore their search for 'gold'. The street theatre Signdance Production challenges the notion that Olympic values are actually withheld, and are true ... and whether competition is necessary at all! On the surface it is a hilarious romp to the finishing line; if you look deeper, the performance questions what has come to be regarded as valuable. A great performance which is staged by people with special needs. ‘New gold’ is one of the rare performances that are placed into the cultural programme of this year’s Olympics in London and at the same time into the programme that will accompany the Paralympics.
