Staubfrau (Dust Woman)
By Maria Milisavljevic
A woman stands at the tipping point. Her story—quiet, familiar, and long ignored—begins to unravel, revealing the hidden weight of generational violence. As buried voices rise to the surface, one becomes many.
In this poetic and unflinching new play, Maria Milisavljevic weaves together the lives of women silenced by patriarchal structures, asking: what happens when the inner monologue ends, and resistance begins?
Dust Woman is a call to queer-feminist struggle and collective uprising, but it also breathes the desire for calm. The water flows harmoniously and floods cruelly, displacing, seeping away, branching out, merging. The water never forgets. (Schauspielhaus Zürich)
