2025 Naples. Foundation “Made in cloister”
artistic project exploring Porta Capuana neighborhood in Naples
Created during her tenure as this year’s Artist in Residence at Fondazione Made in Cloister, Olga Tsvetkova’s Porta Capuana. Space as a Doubt (2025) is a site-specific dance performance mapping the emotional geography of Naples’ Porta Capuana neighborhood.
Next to this project Olga was exploring the basements, streets and roofs of Porta Capuana from the perspective of a dance artist. Together with the head of the communication department of Fondazione Made in Cloister, Alessandra de Francesco she dived inside the everyday reality of the Porta Capuana neighborhood. Their common inspiration was an overwhelming desire - to make everyday reality dance together with the choreographer.
Idea & realisation - Olga Tsvetkova & Alessandra de Francesco
production is by The Fondazione Made in Cloister
Ten years after its establishment, the Fondazione Made in Cloister upholds its mission of urban regeneration through art with a new biennial program. The Foundation’s starting point was the transformation and rebirth of the 16th-century Cloister of the Church of Santa Caterina a Formiello—an abandoned space repurposed through cultural production. This model of urban regeneration through contemporary art fosters dialogue between artists, artisans and the local community
