“Monólogo de uma mulher chamada Maria com a sua patroa” is the title surreptitiously stolen from a text in the book “Novas Cartas Portuguesas” (New Portuguese Letters), which sets the tone for this show. It starts with the creation of the first Domestic Service Union in Portugal to tell the story, still little known, little told, little recognized, little valued, of women’s work, their power to organize, demand and change.
It is the story of women who clean the world, of women who take care of the world, of women who produce, educate and prepare the workforce. This is the story of the invisible work that makes the world move.
