What happens in Where is Stefie

The protagonist of «Where is Stefie» is a single character, played by Anna Confetti, who moves around with an oversized chair. With a few objects and almost no words, the performance turns everyday gestures into surreal and poetic situations. The declared reference is the atmosphere of summer evenings outdoors. Because the show roams, it has no single fixed stage: the audience meets the artist in the spaces of the complex.

The presentation specifies that the language suits spectators of all ages. The credits list the idea and production by Anna Confetti, direction by Pep Vila, set design by Pep Aymerich and Miquel Ollé, and costumes by Anna Alavedra. The project is supported by Fondazione Roma and the Institut Ramon Llull.

The company behind Where is Stefie

The biography published by the festival says that the Anna Confetti company has been putting on street and indoor shows for over forty years, with a language made of circus, clowning and physical theater. Among the productions mentioned are «Cercavila», «Gran Parada», «Miss Umbrel’la», «Pianissimo Circus» and «Fresh Air».

Days and times for Where is Stefie

The festival calendar lists nine days: three in the first weekend, three in the second and three in the third, always Friday to Sunday. For each one the page says «various times» without fixing the times of single outings. The stated rule is that you cannot enter once the show has started.

Venue for Where is Stefie: Mattatoio

The Mattatoio complex stands in Testaccio on the site of the old city slaughterhouse, closed in 1975. The main entrance is on Via Beniamino Franklin, and the perimeter also touches Lungotevere Testaccio and Via Aldo Manuzio. La Pelanda, one of the buildings of the complex, was inaugurated on February 18, 2010.

For a comparison with other proposals at the same venue, the pages on Winterreise by Ersan Mondtag and Pianeta Mare Film Lab describe other events hosted by the Mattatoio in the same weeks.
