We have all cared for others. We have all been cared for by others. We wonder: how can radical love and caring be a roadmap for a more interconnected world?
Have you rocked someone to sleep?
Has someone cried out for you?
Have you helped someone get dressed?
Has someone you love thrown a tantrum?
Do you worry that your loved ones need you to feed them?
Do you have dishes to wash?
Do you have to pack bags and unpack bags and pack bags and...?
This performance is for you!
