SYNOPSIS

​

The cleaner of the theatre does her job, alone, as she does everyday. Like the ghost-light of a theatre, she is there when everyone else has left. However, this time she discovers the public still in the their seats. Used to being alone and invisible, she tries to continue with her work, but little by little is drawn towards these eyes which scrutinise and examine her, for they also put her in the spotlight and allow her to exist.
