ABSTRACT
On stage, Rosa, an actor playing a cleaner, comes into the top manager’s office. She walks around, does some work, looks briefly at the actor playing the manager and starts to work again. The second time she passes him she looks at him more intensely. He is busy with his papers on the desk. She says, ‘May I ask a question?’ The manager, played by another actor, looks up, surprised. He was hardly aware she was there. He says, ‘Of course’, and she hesitates but then looks firmly at him and says, ‘Why are you doing this?’ ‘Doing what?’, he responds. ‘Why am I not allowed to wear this logo any more?’ She points at her chest. The manager hesitates, ‘Your supervisor was supposed to tell you about that.’ ‘Haven’t you been a part of the decision?’, she asks. As the words start to flow, Rosa becomes gradually more direct: ‘Are you not satisfied with my work?’ The manager takes a look at his papers on the desk and gives her a short glance. He picks up his papers. On his way out he says: ‘You need to
talk with your supervisor about this.’ The scene ends with Rosa standing alone in the office.
