Where is Olga?

Shows

What happens when something is missing? What is the energy of absence? What generative force does non-existence bring with it? Where is Olga? is an open work in progress, where the creative process is alive: voices, silences, choices, mistakes and intuitions coexist, while a person who is invoked but not present raises questions about the meaning of creating together. Through body, word, sound and movement, Olga's absence highlights the dynamics of a group, its fragility and potential. An invitation to look at absence not as emptiness, but as fertile space where something can happen.

Matteo Maffesanti is a director, filmmaker and co-founder of the Elevator Bunker collective, a theatre company that adopts an anti-ableist perspective in its artistic practice and production processes, valuing individual specificities. Thanks to his background as a theatre operator in the social sector, he combines a solid educational foundation with artistic skills, which lead him to experiment with shared creative processes through the use of the performing arts. His research focuses in particular on accessibility and professionalisation for people with cognitive and neurodivergent disabilities.
