Synopsis
Sweat is an a cappella chamber opera for nine voices bringing the audience into the heart of a contemporary sweatshop, offering a window into the lives of the workers who clothe us. The performance contrasts the sonic world of the factory floor with the lyrical hopes and dreams of the women who labour there, offering thought-provoking social commentary on the (often-hidden) world of the workers who make our clothes.
