In this scene from the contemporary Hong Kong theatre production 'Not The Maids' (不是女僕) by Rooftop Productions, three performers occupy a dimly lit, minimalist stage. In the foreground, a woman in a white dress stands beside a dressmaker's mannequin, her expression somber. To the left, a performer in a white top and red gloves cleans the floor, while a third performer sits at a polished grand piano in the background. The scene evokes themes of labor and domesticity. As Michelle Li, in character, reflects on the nature of their reality, she muses: 'Dust. There's clean dust, and there's dirty dust.'
