In that dark forest

Olmo Missaglia brings the millennials to the stage
by Chiara Sciascia

Olmo Missaglia, who won the 2021 edition of Biennale College for directors under 35 with Biennale-produced Una foresta, will participate this year, as well.

Missaglia worked with Paola Pisciottano on EXTREME/MALECANE, debuted at the Festival Emulation at Théâtre de Liège, was assistant director for Alex Cornil and Sara Amari, and participated in several festival. The theatre author has a “pure, unexpected poetic gaze” (ricci/forte) that can vividly photograph his generation, with all its traumas and stolen dreams.
Una foresta is a play on millennials by millennials: three of them, who don’t know one another, find themselves in a forest in an early summer’s night. They don’t speak the same language and come from different places…

ricci / forte present the 50th Biennale Teatro to the cry of "Rot"!
