Mafalda Inmersiva to Open in Buenos Aires With 15-Room Immersive Journey

Organizers say the licensed production will use projection mapping, multiuser virtual reality and life‑size sculptures to honor Quino’s strips and then tour Europe and Latin America.

Overview

  • Mafalda Inmersiva was announced Monday and is scheduled to open in October 2026 at Centro Cultural Recoleta in Buenos Aires.
  • The show will occupy about 1,300 square meters and guide visitors through a roughly one-hour route across 15 themed rooms.
  • Producers say the experience will combine high-resolution video mapping, 360° projections with spatialized sound, interactive touchscreens, life-size character sculptures and multiuser VR.
  • The production holds an exclusive license from Quino’s heirs and was developed by a multidisciplinary team from Argentina, Spain and England under director-producer Damián Kirzner.
  • Organizers emphasize fidelity to Quino’s original drawings and texts, include dedicated children’s areas, and say the project — which received the Orillas Nuevas distinction from the Institut Français d'Argentine and the French Embassy — will begin an international tour after its Buenos Aires season.
