Project

El Inicio ('The Beginning') is a fictional literary project. It portrays the state of mind of a decadent generation marked by its social class. A chaotic concatenation of story beginnings, fused together by a narrator whose own inventiveness drives her into isolation. The piece is made up of numerous unfinished story beginnings that act as a jigsaw puzzle to form the narrative framework. It is symptomatic of the consumerist impulse that dominates our generation. The story begins with the narrator's attempt to overcome her boredom, but the plot is fragmented into numerous repetitive blocks of unfinished beginnings, which are always interrupted by new beginnings. The play reveals the fragility of the attention span and focus that characterise contemporary human beings. The idea behind it is that, as the narrator presents her visions, it gradually dawns on the reader that reality always turns out to be something very different
