Description:

Inspired by the previous highly acclaimed indoor show 'Dios Menguante' (Max Award to the Best Female performer 2008 and Barcelona Award 2010). Based on the neorrealitic italian films of the 50's, tells a love story with three main characters: a man, a woman... and a washing machine!
Movement, gesture and a sense of humour will be the basic ingredients used to narrate the story of a man who makes a stop on his way through life and a woman who stops at nothing.

Two people with opposite personalities and disparate aims put each other to the test, without planning to, in order to cope with the twists and turns of destiny with what life has taught them, or perhaps, with what life has not taught them. A very routine chore, like doing the washing, will be put to use in an extraordinary situation of a providential meeting in which confusion, and the desire to be confused, will give rise to a game where the boundaries of amusement and suffering will be permeable and abrupt - like a precipice.
