Enigma Rol

Through testimonials, archival material, photographs, archival videos, and scenic reconstructions, ENIGMA ROL is at the same time a portrait, an investigation, and an anthology of the character, personality, and works of the controversial Turin-based psychic Gustavo Adolfo Rol (1903-1994). To shed light on this inexplicable yet fascinating and mysterious figure, terms like "paranormal," "extrasensory," or "parapsychological" are not sufficient. Gustavo Rol rejected every esoteric label. Throughout his life, he was much more. Some called him a "mediocre illusionist" (among the most skeptical, Piero Angela), while others regarded him as a spiritual master, an enlightened being sent to Earth to make us better, or simply an extraordinary, special man with mysterious and incredible abilities.
