SpaDisco We put the guilt in guilty pleasure
How many Polish women does it take to clean all the toilets in all the households in Manhattan? And how many Nigerian women does it take to care for an old white woman, making sure she’s fed and clean, only to be accused of stealing?
SpaDisco is a collaborative performance and sound experience about “a paradox of pampering” (as described by David Foster Wallace), or the care provided by the immigrant labor force, specifically immigrant women.
Conceived by Tusia Dabrowska, a collaborative artist working in live art, video and sound, this project was developed by Tusia and two electronic music producers and singers, She’s Excited and Electric Djinn. Guest appearance by JS Cawley, a writer and educator, who will perform her work live for the first time.
