The conservative right-wing party Golden Dawn wants to «clean the Greek streets of all mig-rants»; But it is the refugee and migrant women, who clean in Greece. In Clean City, five cleaners from different generations of immigrants recount what this means. «For weeks Tsinikoris and Azas collected the life stories of the five women and compressed them into a great piece of the present, into a text about globalisation and homeland, yearning and family, the disappearance of the middle class, and the dreams that Europe still holds for so many.» (Süddeutsche Zeitung) «Political theatre is supposed to be dead? On the contrary, the stage remains the best forum up-on which everything can be imagined and invented with wit and liveliness. And their sense for comedy, for playfulness, by which these women swing feathers and broomsticks, is their most beautiful weapon of resistance.» (Télérama) In Greek with German and English subtitles.
