What is it?

A rare chance to see a fabulous company coming over from Spain, especially for the Dance Alive project.  Movement, gesture and a sense of humour are the basic ingredients used to narrate the story of a priest who makes a stop on his way through life and a woman who stops at nothing.

On one hand, a strong woman, a very strong woman; with endless laundry to wash. On the other hand, a man who hasn’t ever put clothes in a washing machine, nor does he know that those dirty clothes even have to be washed at all.  Two people with opposite personalities inadvertently put each other to the test, in order to cope with the twists and turns of destiny. Doing the washing will never seem like a routine chore again!
