The Clothesline

Street theatre performance full of fun and encounters

Premiere 2025

Two socks, an empty laundry basket, and plenty of clothespins.

What starts with an empty clothesline grows into a surprising game, unique every time. Expect a swinging sock ballet, a singing T-shirt, and unexpected encounters. Met de Waslijn is a mischievous, poetic performance without words, but full of connection and imagination.

Playful, light, and surprising. A performance in simplicity, without words.
Perfect for the park, the street, or anywhere the laundry flutters.

An outdoor theater performance filled with joy and connection.
