Hydroblast
Hydroblast is a cleaning method in which high pressure water is used to remove grime and hard deposits from surfaces. It is mainly used to remove road markings, graffitis but has since become a tool used to clean contaminated metal wastes from nuclear power plants.
As a company, HydroBlast wishes to use theater as such a tool to remove all boundaries, stereotypes, discriminations and prejudices from society and ensure that theater is a place for diversity.
