The dirty washing speaks…
Tragicomic sound & theater creation for streets and large indoor spaces

Six washerwomen and washermen from the past come to wash our present.
They know how to make speaking the washing about comedies and tragedies of life.
These daily heroes, washers of mark of memory, invite the audience to meet around their washing place.. They take on their common mark.
They sort out, rub, hit, suffer and, tired out, give to see and to hear voices of dirty xashing of humanity.
Throught their contact, sheets,, tableclothes, shrouds and clothes reveal their origins, their stories and their intimacies.
In the heart of the water and washing cycle, our washerwomen and washermen make emotions lather and gush forth on the public area.
