The Vacuum Cleaner is an honest and courageous piece of theatre exploring the relationship between the performers the audience. It juggles expectations, fears, stereotypes, notions of artificiality, self-criticism and humour. Written specifically for the cast, the play embraces the real truths and limitations of the performer.
The piece was developed by seven members of Ferodo Bridges, Platform for Artistic Collaboration, in a non-theatrical space, an abandoned courtroom. Rehearsing through the winter, with no heating, proper lighting or even coffee, the company struggled with an unorthodox environment and financial limitations. Through discussions and workshops exploring these failures, limitations flourished into possibilities, and The Vacuum Cleaner was developed.
A playful and surprisingly moving meta-theatrical comedy
which seeks to place the audience in the here and now, challenging
expectations of theatre and the performer.
