Information
Boys* in Sync is taking the audience on a guided tour, researching residential areas built in the 1950s to provide green and affordable housing, inspired by the Athens Charter.
200 years ago Heinrich von Kleist wrote “The Earthquake in Chile”, a short novel about a young couple whose love is socially forbidden and a society that tries to learn from a crisis. Only through the catastrophe of an earthquake are they able to escape execution and find shelter in a community of survivors outside the ruins of the destroyed city.
Exploring its socio-political topography, stepping in and out of theatricality, Boys* in Sync is using the architecture as well as Kleist’s novel to raise the question: What does it need to build a community?
