EVERY FOLD MATTERS is a live performance and film by Lizzie Olesker and Lynne Sachs that looks at the charged, intimate space of the neighborhood laundry and the people who work there. At the crossroads of a New York City neighborhood, we meet four characters in a laundromat – a uniquely social and public space that is quickly disappearing from our changing urban landscape. Based on interviews with laundry workers, EVERY FOLD MATTERS uses fiction and documentary elements to explore stories of immigration, identity, money, stains and dirt.
