Title: La voz de Olga Orozco
Description: La voz de Olga Orozco comprises the lectures that Jorge Monteleone taught at the Malba in 2020, on the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Argentine poet Olga Orozco. All her work revolves around the theme of death and loneliness, which she has been able to express with great dramatic intensity. The most important of her production is found in her poetry books ."I, Olga Orozco, from your heart tell everyone that I am dyingʺ: with that founding verse, the poet Olga Orozco multiplied her name and her voice in numerous subjective fabrications. Her "unfolding in the mask of all" began in the ritual voice, a participant in the divine, and ended in the criticism of the sacred verb, which not only recognizes its own mortality but also questions the patriarchal God in alliance with the voices of other women. . The "voice of Olga" is changing and diverse: it is found in her poems and narrations, in the apocryphal characters of her journalistic texts, in the self-portraits and interviews, in the testimonies of those who did not forget the "hoarse voice and criedʺ. That voice, which says I am you, he is you, they are usʺ, transitive and plural, still speaks to us. The voice of Olga Orozco brings together the classes that Jorge Monteleone taught at Malba in 2020, one hundred years after the birth of the Argentine poet.
