Casa das Artes Programme
Casa das Artes | Grand Auditorium - 21h30 and 17h30
Entry: 4 euros. Students, Cultural Quadrilateral Card and Seniors (over 65 years): 2 Euros
Monologue of a woman called Maria with her Mistress is the title stolen clandestinely from a text of the book "Novas Cartas Portuguesas" (New Portuguese Letters), and that gives the motto for this show. We start from the creation of the first Domestic Service Union in Portugal to tell the story, still little known, little told, little recognised, little valued, of the work of women, of their power to organise, claim and change. This is the story of the women who clean the world, the women who take care of the world, the women who produce, educate and prepare the workforce. This is the story of the invisible work that gets the world moving.
