Matteo Maffesanti: Where is Olga?

Date: November 8, 2025 - November 8, 2025
Location: Italy

Three people are shown against a black background. The person in the center, wearing a light blue shirt, appears more still and clear. On the left and right, two other people are blurred, as if they are moving or turning their heads. The overall effect suggests motion and confusion around the central figure.

About the show

Where is Olga? is an open construction site, where the creative process is alive and well: voices, silences, choices, mistakes, and insights coexist, while a person who is invoked but not present raises questions about the meaning of creating together.

The show is based on a simple but powerful question: what happens when someone is missing?

During the first period of work, there was an additional performer in the group: Olga. Olga decided not to continue working with the other performer for personal reasons. Her absence was a powerful experience for the group and opened up emotional chasms.
