Cleansed
Raw revival of Sarah Kane's Cleansed in Athens — a 105-minute intense in-yer-face drama with strobe effects and no minors allowed
Sarah Kane's "Cleansed" returns to the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation on 28 September 2026, opening its second consecutive season after a sold-out first run. Dimitris Karantzas directs the seven-actor ensemble: Christos Loulis as Tinker, Mairi Mina as Grace, Dimitris Kapourani as Graham, Natasa Exintavelon as Woman, Giorgos Zygouris as Rod, Nikolakis Zegkinoglou as Carl, and Thanasis Raftopulos as Robin.
Kane wrote the play in 1998. Six characters under Tinker's supervision in a university institution try to keep their identity intact in a system that punishes difference. The production runs 105 minutes without interval. If you want comfortable theatre, look elsewhere — strobe effects, explicit content, no minors.
Phones lock into provided pouches at the door, and there is no late entry once the curtain rises. The Foundation sits in Tavros, accessible by metro. Tickets through more.com. A second-season Cleansed — same cast, same room, same prohibition on phones and latecomers.
