Pretty much all performance art interrogates the relationship between the artist and the audience as spectator and the audience as participant. The audience is pretty much definitionally a part of performance art. Also treating a performance with hushed reverence and enforcing a strict separation between art and the audience is quite literally a cornerstone of bourgeois respectability, historically speaking
"This is actually part of the art performance" goes all the way down. Even the art snobbery and "how dare you interact with living beings here" shaming.
I'd rather just cut the Gordian knot and acknowledge living beings doing something socially awkward (presumably for pay) and accept my place in the performance accordingly.
