Synopsis: What’s Inside Matters is an abstract duet for the tiny stage dramatizing the activities involved in mundane chores from the perspective of the items being acted upon by household appliances. For example, clothing inside the washing machine, food in a pressure cooker, dust being vacuumed. Set to a dramatic orchestral score, this piece questions why we take ourselves so seriously.
