Two window cleaners, both refugees from civil war, hang on abseil cables outside of a skyscraper. They have got a job to do and have agreed not to talk about the past. While cleaning the windows, they follow the inaccessible world of well-heeled Western business people. Through a visual metaphor, this play explores concepts as distance and proximity at different levels: Socially, economically, politically and geographically. Today, the world seems smaller but some distances seem insuperable. How long can we keep the past at a distance?
