Domestic work is structurally assigned to women. It's an unrecognised activity and one of the professions that most lacks regulation. It's one of the last forms of exploitation and, in many cases, slavery.Sara Barros Leitão
"Monólogo de uma mulher chamada Maria com a sua patroa" (Monologue of a woman named Maria with her boss) is the title stolen clandestinely from a text in the book "Novas Cartas Portuguesas" (New Portuguese Letters) and sets the stage for this performance.
Sara Barros Leitão starts from the creation of the first Domestic Service Union in Portugal to tell the story, still little known and little told, of the work of women and their power to organise, claim and change.
It is the story of the women who clean the world, the women who care for the world, the women who produce, educate and prepare the workforce. Invisible work that makes the world move.
