NEWSLETTER 17, December 2003 The
Dry Clean Show in Austria |
"The Dry Clean Show," a theatre performance
produced with the Austrian CCC as a partner, presents the story of three fashion
companies that all compete to come up with ethically sound solutions to solve
the problems in the countries where their products are manufactured.  Described
as a liturgy and trade fair exhibition all in one, the show explores how the contradictory
intentions and interests of all those touched by global capitalism come together
in the production of clothes. The performers use music, dance, vocals, and a fashion
show to convey their story which demonstrates the lengths that fashion companies
go to keep their brand names clean.
The show will be premiered on the 21st
of November 2003 in Graz (Styria) and run will until the end of the month. The
city is currently the European Union's designated "European Capital of Culture"
and this show will be a part of the celebratory festivities. Information
about the Austrian CCC will be distributed during the performances and in the
publications of the steirisc[:her:]rbst, the art festival which translates as
"styrian autumn". For more information on "The Dry Clean
Show" see:
