SYNOPSIS
From the abuse of the sweatshop to the fantasy of costume and the empowerment of sewing-it-yourself, the sewing machine has been a force for liberation and exploitation since its invention in the 19th century. Hemmed in by the language of sewing and the inexorable rhythm of the machine, three women fight to find space for imagination and individuality. Stitch gives voice to the unseen women who clothe us all.
MUSIC DESCRIPTION
Stitch uses three sewing machines from different periods to show how the machine was both liberating and enslaving for women. The sounds of the machines provide the only accompaniment.
