MADE IN BANGLADESH - By means of dance and in coproduction and in
cooperation with cultural institutions in Europe and Bangladesh, Helena
Waldmann
examines the working conditions of Bangladesh's (South East Asian)
garment factories. As usual she is taking a close look and does not
content herself with stereotypes. On site in Dhaka and together with a
local ensemble, Waldmann reflects on the uncanny similarities between
the precarious existence of dancers and of garment workers.
