The performance unfolds like a game, with an unexpected twist. Thanks to the erratic spinning of a bingo machine, a select group from the audience is given the chance to take part in a raffle in which the prizes are not material possessions, but rather gestures of care. Meanwhile, the other part of the audience is led to the wings, where they are assigned the role of ‘carers’ for the lottery participants. As the bingo machine spins and the numbers are drawn, moments of confrontation arise. Conversely, as their responsibilities increase, a similar process of introspection takes place amongst those who have become carers. The performance highlights the multifaceted nature of caregiving and all the emotions associated with it, offering insight into the practical and radical intimacy that underlies care work. Carehood takes the audience from reflection to action and draws them into the very heart of labour, care work and the ambivalent emotions that accompany them.
