Friends, Athenians! How 'clean' are you? Down with the stereotypes! Athens' immigrant cleaning ladies become the ideal protagonists of this international documentary theater co-production.

Who cleans Athens? Why are the majority of Athens’ cleaners women and immigrants? Were they ‘born’ cleaners? How do their CVs differ from yours?

Maybe, in the end, we’re all subjects of history? And while we’re at it, why do we use the phrase ‘a clean sweep’ to describe police operations intended to rid public spaces of ‘undesirables’ (immigrants, the homeless, ‘deviants’)?

As a theatre of the real, Clean City traces and redefines stereotypes through the gaze and personal accounts of the real experts when it comes to cleanliness: the immigrant cleaning ladies of Athens.

“Clean City” is an Onassis Stegi, Sirenos International Theatre Festival (Vilnius, Lithuania)), Teatro Maria Matos (Lisbon, Portugal) and Tiger Dublin Fringe (Dublin, Ireland) co-production within the framework of ΕUROPOLY, a European Goethe Instituts project
