Five strangers meet in a laundrette. Where they are coming from or what they are looking for remains uncertain at first. The only vague promise hangs as a neon sign above the entrance that reads “Wash your troubles away.”

Alternating between waiting and running, with and against each other, above and straight through, this dance theatre piece by choreographer Beatrix Simkó examines moments of being overwhelmed and the unity of the community. The ensemble uses the laundrette as a playground for encounters and negotiations. They climb on washing machines, step over benches and move through the space on rollerskates. They want to know why the world sometimes feels so heavy and whether there is a world behind the washing machine drum.

A performance with few words about being alone, staying together and enduring uncertainty – mixed with a touch of magic and a big secret.

Sensory impressions such as bright light, loud noises or sudden events can be overstimulating or overwhelming for some people.

– There is a section where the players move very quickly and run across the stage.
