A group of people who have been constrained and have held themselves back finally have their true desires unleashed by the enchantment of a divine feminine.The idea is to challenge the taboos of desire and sensual indulgence. The song speaks of finally feeling “gold” after a period of only “silver”, and IYVES passes this gift on to her dinner guests. It’s euphoric and over the top, much like the first experience of true pleasure.
This video is about sexuality, exploration and indulgence. The dinner guests, played by dancers, use movement to embody these things. In some scenes we see guests dancing alone, as pleasure can also be tapped into as an individual experience, with two other people (as the three women in the corner portray) or in a larger group.
It’s purposefully set in no specific era or place. I made this choice because I wanted to illustrate a universal feeling that has always been a part of human existence, but still holds the same relevance and power today.
