We are an Uruguayan company based in Barcelona. Catalina Aguayo and Alejandro Dutra founded OLGA cirqanalogique in 2018, following our professional training at Le Lido – School of Circus Arts of Toulouse. For us, OLGA is a space where different forms of expression converge: circus, dance, theatre, and music come together to create a singular, hybrid, and sensitive language. Our main driving force is to craft metaphors in which personal experiences and reflections are transformed into universal symbols. As migrant, racialized, and queer individuals, we understand the stage not only as a space of representation but also of resistance and political imagination. We want our performances to serve as a mirror in which, at the very least, certain minorities can see themselves reflected.
