With their love for unusual sounds and their flair for intertwining acoustic and visual action, the young composition and performance duo Mercier\/B\u00f6ttcher has become an insider tip within the independent music theatre scene. In their piece, they explore the absurdity of life from inside a washing drum. What lies behind the strange idea of \u201cpurity\u201d that laundry detergent advertising has been suggesting for generations? What is truly hidden in a medieval legend about washerwomen? And doesn\u2019t the cycle of a washing machine symbolically reflect the relentless sequence of life\u2019s stages\u2014from cradle to grave? You\u2019ll never load your drum thoughtlessly again\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
