Ascending artists from all over the world met here to experiment. For a group of ex-patriot geniuses, it was a time and place for inspiration, and they would forever change the way we view the world. Their names are instantly recognizable to this day, but in 1925 they were struggling to define who they were: Pablo Picasso, Gertrude Stein, Cole Porter, Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Luis Buñuel, and Ernest Hemingway.

»Manifest of Nobodies« was developed as a semester project simulating a professional writers’ room at ifs. It is a show about a group of friends before they became our idols. The drama, inspiration, and relationships behind their masterpieces.
