Rosati in 2019:
This RTF experiment places Moreno in front of a problem that is not easy to solve neither in practice nor in theory: in the age of the technical reproducibility of art, what is important for art becomes important also for therapy. The Psycho-Cinema creates productive problems that Spontaneity alone cannot solve. The psychocinema is at the service of group therapy because its broadcasting multiplies the message of psychodrama and its clinical and human value. But, on the other hand, this passage has a specific feature: the practical realization of the Psychocinema brings production problems that a traditional therapist does not know: the production of what Moreno called "Cultural Conserves".
Greco in 2019:
I see. The setting becomes also a set.
Rosati in 2019:
Indeed. The psychodrama setting is the realm of Spontaneity, play and improvisation: a chair becomes a boat. A minute becomes one year. A patient becomes an actor. But if you create a setting-set everything changes. Play encounters Reality. You must consider the rules and the skills of an industry born to create movies, programs, dvd. Psychodrama takes the group out of space and space. Instead on a real set concrete problems of space are born: in Paris for instance the set of the Rossellini experiment is wrong. Is is too small. It is a studio for Radio not for TV and it is cluttered with too many people that disturb the shots. And the time available for the experiment is not enough.
Greco in 2019:
Actually Schutzenberger repeats 'Vite! Vite!' And how did Rai deal with this kind of problems for 'Da Storia Nasce Storia'?
Rosati in 2019:
In Turin we applied to Moreno's utopia the technological support that was available in the 1990s. That is four cameras, one of which was fixed. A television direction located in a space far from the set. An apparatus of lights and an audio recording technique that allowed to minimize pin microphones. And of course a year of preparation and months of production and assembly.
Greco in 2019:
And what would it be like today?
Rosati in 2019:
Today's technology is much more sophisticated, light and economical. Today the times are the right ones. Much better than in the Nineties. Not to mention the Fifties.
Greco in 2019:
Yes. We told it: we are just Dwarfs on the shoulders of Giants. Moreno and Rossellini are the Giants.
