GOLGOTHA

Golgotha was written after Steven Cohen’s brother comitted suicide. For the artist, Golgotha is an attempt to “find a dance somewhere in the empty space between the amorality of commerce (where everything is for sale) and the rites of lamentation (everything ends with death)”.

“This is not about bringing the dead back to life, but about bringing death to life.”
