- Summary:
- Marta Minujín, Nacha Guevara, Les Luthiers, Almendra, Marilú Marini, Andy Warhol, Umberto Eco, John Cage, Julio Le Parc, Yayoi Kusama. All these protagonists of Argentine culture have a common origin: the Di Tella Institute. In the heat of the fortune of the flagship of the industrial bourgeoisie, the building at 900 Florida Street became between 1963 and 1970 (in a chronological correspondence with the reign of the Beatles) in the epicenter of an avant-garde that skipped the sets from painting, theater, music and dance to establish itself as a power plant that defied the rigors of the moralistic regime of dictator Onganía. With the testimonies of its protagonists but also rescuing the voices of its supporting actors and based on an archeology work on the archive, Fernando García has proposed to tell the story of this cultural phenomenon that astonished the world like never before, that is: since the intimacy of its corridors. How and why Di Tella was possible in Buenos Aires and how it sank, carrying in its collapse the broken dreams of the 60s, is what the pages of this moving and informed, passionate and fundamental essay relate.
