What was the name of Fisherman Palunko\u2019s wife? The one who told him stories, prepared his dinner, bore him a son, and then undertook such fantastical actions – renouncing herself and everything she had – just to bring him back from the delusion that had dragged him to the (ocean) floor. What is her name, and why didn\u2019t Ma\u017eurani\u0107 tell us?<\/p>\n

In the namelessness of this heroine – in the namelessness that has cloaked us women throughout history – we anchor this story of ours. And so, with laughter and maybe a tear or two, we dive into the search for what is perceived as the essence of femininity: why are women so persistently and unwaveringly loyal? Is the impulse to sacrifice and to surrender oneself to another a weakness, or a strength that we\u2019ve been nursing for centuries through mother\u2019s milk?<\/p>\n

Palunko\u2019s Wife, a romantic clown monodrama, is an original project by Iva Peter Dragan and Marija Anti\u0107.<\/p>\n
