'Cleansed' is known for its intense, graphic content, which can be a form of immersive theatre. This style aims to draw the audience deeply into the experience, often blurring the lines between performers and observers. While it can be powerful, as seen with the fainting incident, it also raises questions about audience comfort and boundaries.
