MADE is telling the story of the millions of workers in Bangladesh whose lives are dedicated to the Western desire for fast fashion and instant consumerism. This provocative and daring performance is exploring the lives of the mothers, fathers, daughters and sons who are frantically toiling away to provide the shirt on your back just to survive from day to day.
This is a personal story and the performance is based on the real lives of real people in Bangladesh. Looking deeper into the incomprehensible numbers of sweatshop workers, MADE is focusing on the individual narrative. The individual hopes, dreams, fears and desires that will resonate so strongly with the audience and leave you profoundly moved. This is set within the larger narrative of exploring the parallels between the east and the west and how our need for fast, cheap and mass produced clothing directly affects millions of lives across the world.
Every aspect of the garment industry is explored and stories from the workers to the buyers to the consumers will be told in parallel with each other and scrutinized to understand how the choices we make as consumers have a direct and profound impact on those millions of miles away. The play will explore the rise of feminism within this context, the economic impact on developing countries and present a unreservedly real depiction of poverty at the hands of capitalism. This is an exciting new piece of work from Target Theatre Company and will be an unmissable peformance that is guaranteed to directly impact the way you behave as a consumer.
