Joana Vasconcelos's piece Valkyrie Olympia is the central element of the new Olympia Lis Boutique Hotel, establishing a direct dialogue with the scenic memory of the former Olympia Theatre. Suspended in space, the work envelops the visitor in a theatrical and immersive atmosphere, evoking the building's past as a place of spectacle and celebration. 
 
Integrated into an interior design project conceived by Cristina Santos Silva, the installation aligns with the theatrical universe of what was once an emblematic space for Lisbon's elite. Joana Vasconcelos’ Valkyries are sculptures inspired by the female figures of Norse mythology, who flew over the battlefields, bringing the bravest warriors back to life, to join the deities in Valhalla. Made with textile materials, they fully express the artist's creativity through a variety of fabrics, crochet and trimmings. The result is a surprising combination of volumes, textures and colours, using manual skills and updating the connection between arts and crafts for the 21st century. 

 
José Frazão, the founder of the Olympia Lis Boutique Hotel, describes the new project as "a hotel with art," where tradition and contemporary elements intertwine expressively.
