Esquizo

As the sub-title has it: “Fiction reportage about the architecture of a brain.” Which is quite a perfect summary of Ricardo Bofill’s activities cum ambitions during the early period of his Taller d’Arquitectura, a multidisciplinary project that involved not only urbanists and architects but also writers, filmmakers and graphic designers.
The bulk of Schizo, with its tres 60s-70s topos of society as an asylum, consists of situations in which a group of performers act out scenes of collective anxieties and desires (to put it as broadly as possible), sometimes illustrating the many-timbre’d voiceover, sometimes contradicting it. More elements and cinematic textures will find their place; finally, a work about communication and patterns that feels intellectually as well as emotionally all-encompassing will have emerged.
