‘WASDA’ is laundry. A lot of laundry. Mountains of laundry. Seas of laundry. ‘WASDA’ is laundry lines, washing machines, laundry baskets, clothespins, laundry powder, and wind. ‘WASDA’ is many clothes, clothes that no longer participate, stand on the sidelines, are inappropriate, are no longer worn. But ... wasda? Is that shirt moving? Did those pants just sigh? Those clothes are alive, or what?! ‘WASDA’ is an ode to the imagination of the toddler and a plea for a sustainable society in which people take care of each other. ‘WASDA’ is a dance-like, language-poor performance full of acrobatics, movement, humor, and poetry. ‘WASDA’, that's two socks fighting that never want to see each other again, that's a tie with the giggles, a dancing sweater, a shirt that is sad because no one cares about him anymore. Because clothes are like people, they can be grumpy, dance, be happy or afraid or angry. People are like clothes, we all want to be worn … ‘WASDA’ is participating, getting to work, off your chair, onto the floor. Smoothing out wrinkles, blowing wind, softening laundry, comforting clothes, taking care. ‘WASDA’ is together, for each other. ‘WASDA’ happens to us. WAWASDA? DAWASNOGALWA. ‘WASDA’ does not just want to be a performance you watch, but also an experience that happens to you. Not only for the players, but also for the children and their families. A shared moment of play, care, chaos, and laundry. A performance about together, we, us, all, everyone.
