The ‘Casa do Povo’ cultural centre in S?o Paulo, an icon of the secular Jewish workers’ movement: a crumbling theatre flanked by staircases, entryways and corridors. Construction noise drones away in the background, clinking crockery, a broom sweeping over tiled floors, an expressive fa?ade of countless adjustable panes of glass covered by a patina. It’s October 2016 and a group of young people are preparing a preview of Bickels [Socialism]. The venue is to form a prologue to the completed film, which tours 22 buildings in Israel designed by Samuel Bickels, most of which for kibbutzim. Dining halls, children’s houses, agricultural buildings, bright structures inserted into the Mediterranean landscape with great ingenuity. An architecture with a sell-by date: That many are now empty or have been repurposed at best is linked to the decline of the socialist ideals they embody.
Paintings by Jewish artist Meir Axelrod from the Crimea in the 1930s form the epilogue. It tells the tragic story of the Vio Nova kibbutz, which first foundered under the British Mandate in Palestine and later fell victim to Stalinism, before being liquidated entirely under the German occupation.

圣保罗的??Casa do Povo??文化中心是世俗犹太工人??运动的象征:一个摇摇欲坠的剧院,两侧是楼梯、入口和走廊。建筑噪音在背景中嗡嗡作响,叮当作响的陶器,一把扫帚扫过瓷砖地板,一个由无数块可调玻璃组成的富有表现力的立面,上面覆盖着一位古铜色的人。2016年10月,IT??和一群年轻人正在准备比克斯[社会主义]的预览。这个场地将成为这部完成的电影的开场白,这部电影参观了塞缪尔·比克斯(Samuel Bickels)在以色列设计的22座建筑,其中大部分是为基布津(Kibbuzim)设计的。餐厅,儿童??的房子,农业建筑,明亮的结构插入地中海景观与伟大的独创性。一个有保质期的建筑:许多现在是空的,或者充其量也就是被重新利用了,这与它们所体现的社会主义理想的衰落有关。
