Washing Machine Vortex

25 - 26 Sept 2025

Washing Machine Vortex

A 'Greek-style' tragedy! While doing the washing for her elderly father, one woman dives into the swirling cycles of her past — confronting psychoanalysis, patriarchy, and the spirit of Electra herself. Blending autobiography, visual storytelling, and a rocking 60s soundtrack to create something deeply personal and defiantly bold. Sarah MK Archdeacon with Hana Lane, Jon C Archdeacon and Tom Marshman.
