"Performance writing" refers to work in which the pattern of writing is different from "the dramatic text," in which dramatic conflict is at the core of the text and the play is constructed to form a climax. Performance writing which focuses on "the process" and "in-between" is different from realistic representation. In performance writing, meaning is so temporary, contextual, unstable and incomplete that everything becomes a process. Therefore, meaning can be achieved here through the performative process and through the evocative effect of the writing. The performative is the co-existencebetween the stage and the audience or between the actor and the audience. Cleansed, by Sarah Kane, is a performance writing. Firstly, Cleansed reveals several aspects of performance writing in terms of liminality, materiality, and performativity. Tinker and Rod reveal the liminal state of the characters, as the audience witnesses the formation of new and changed versions of Tinker and Rod. This liminality induces the audience to experience the text in a new way. Secondly, Cleansed belongs to the category of the "in-yer-face" theatre. In-yer-face theatre is experiential; the audience comes to experience violence and atrocities, and by doing so, they can undergo a change because of the shock effects the performance induces and because of the materiality of the attacked body. This materiality can make the audience feel the presence of the actors` bodies. When the materiality of the actors is emphasized, the performative connection between the stage and the audience is also enhanced. Cleansed is also an evocative form of writing. Evocativeness is one of the many aspects of performance writing, as pointed out by Della Pollock. Evocative writing reveals the various possibilities of the work, appeals to the emotions of the audience, and exposes "the absence of being," instead of dealing with causality and logic. For example, "the ring" in the play does not have any fixed meaning. It is open to interpretation. This object becomes a poetic image. And images are so open to interpretation that they induce the active participation of the audience in the play. Accordingly, the images increase the degree of performativity of the play. Furthermore, the images appeal to the senses and emotions of the audience. Through these aspects, Cleansed is a good example of performance writing.
