THE CLEANERS

Part performance, part live painting, part carnival game

THE CLEANERS is an interactive, performance installation created by Shock Therapy Arts.  

A living room sits in mid-air, 7 metres above the ground. It is completely white. Two cleaners in white uniforms inspect the room, taking great pains to maintain the white rooms perfect whiteness. On the ground below sits a giant slingshot. Beside the slingshot, a large collection of mud- filled balloons. Let the games begin.  

Fights, meltdowns, existential crisis; who knows what will unfold, how The Cleaners will rectify the situation, and what secrets they will uncover in the process.  The Cleaners is a 3 day, durational performance installation by multi award winning contemporary performance makers, Shock Therapy Arts.

The Cleaners has been featured at SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS, BLEACH FESTIVAL, SYDNEY FESTIVAL and SPRINGTIME.
