From the release:
"Every Fold Matters offers a window into the world of a neighborhood laundry. Based on interviews with New York City laundry workers, the project combines narrative and documentary elements as it explores personal stories of immigration and identity. In the process, we look at the intimate experience of cleaning other people's clothes; an often unrecognized, historic form of labor. With original dialogue, music and choreography, our ensemble of three renowned downtown actors creates a one-hour performance exploring clothes, dirt, stains, money, and time. Set at the crossroads of a changing neighborhood, Every Fold Matters brings audiences into a uniquely social and public space that is slowly disappearing from our changing urban landscape."
