Wild Card: Julio Torres ( (NPR))

A note from Wild Card host Rachel Martin: Until I encountered the work of Julio Torres, I had never imagined the interior life of a Ferrero Rocher chocolate or how the color navy blue captures the feeling of having to “create an account.” But now that Julio has asked me to imagine these things I can’t stop seeing them.

His art defies definition. Whether in movies like “Problemista” or TV shows like “Fantasmas,” Julio Torres invites his audiences into a world of his own making and it’s an absurd and beautiful place to be.

His new HBO stand up special is called “Color Theories.”
