"The Josephine Baker-inspired story of a Black entertainer who takes Paris in the 1920s — told through jazz, house, and West African percussion."
Lila Renée arrives in Paris from Atlanta in 1924 with nothing but a voice and a fury. GOLD traces her decade of ascent in Montmartre's jazz scene — the lovers, the jealousies, the surveillance, and the singular joy of a woman claiming every room she enters. The score blends 1920s jazz with contemporary house and Afrobeat.
Notable songs: "Le Tout-Paris" · "The Color of Your Gold" · "Not Your Exotique" · "Stay in the Light" · "I Never Came Back" · "Reprise: Gold (Redux)"
