The project<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1938. The journalist and writer Joseph Roth, born and raised under the reign of Emperor Franz-Joseph I, publishes the second and more refined part of his own familiar saga about Trotta von Sipolje, Slovenians became nobles recently: La Cripta dei Capuccini <\/em>(The Emperor\u2019s Tomb<\/em>). Through the eyes of the youngest (dilapidator and joyful) member of the Trotta\u2019s \u2013 and together with a gallery of characters of cousins, mothers, wives, adventurers, boasters, soldiers, and deciduous nobles from the Adriatic Sea to Galicia, plus a son sent to the distant Paris \u2013 takes place the story of crushing of the empire and the Habsburg myth. Vienna fin de si\u00e8cle gives way to the illusions of the First world war, to the lively and dangerous chaos after it and to the riots of the great Twentieth century dreams: the imperial capital slowly disappears, swallowed by the Twentieth century whirlpool, even before Nazism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will happen later to Trotta and his family: will they be also swallow by the History, or will they continue to survive or fight against it, generation after generation, like everybody of us? What will happen to the dream of the former multinational and multicultural Empire, inside the Europe divided by the Iron curtain? The Trotta von Sipolje are destined, as many people of the Old continent, to eclipse themselves, giving way to the rampant people beyond the Atlantic, to the American champions of the last century? Or, despite the proclamations of sunset that have been condemning Europeans for over a hundred years, the Trotta will also end up being here, more than surviving two World wars and a \u201ccold\u201d one lasting fifty years, because they are precisely \u201cunable to death\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inabili alla morte\/Nezmo\u017eni umreti<\/strong>, created and directed by Giacomo Pedini, will tell the Trotta\u2019s story, era after era, and with them the history of centre Europe with three different shows and literary compositions: La Cripta dei Capuccini (The Emperor\u2019s Tomb)<\/em> by Joseph Roth, V iskanju izgubljenega jezika <\/em>(In the search of the lost language<\/em>), L\u2019alba dopo la fine della Storia<\/em> (The dawn after the end of history<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first story tells the dissolution of Habsburgian world, the second \u2013 set in the Fifties and Sixties \u2013 will be about the Europe of the Iron curtains and walls, and the third \u2013 set between the Eighties and the Nineties \u2013 will tell the Europe of dreams and lives in front of the fall of walls and the opening of new roads. The three texts would later turn into three radio dramas (both in Italian and Slovenian) and a book (both in Italian and Slovenian).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme, the places and the history evoked will also turn into an ad hoc made video-documentary, which follows in the footsteps of this semi-unknown Europe between East and West, \u201cunfit for death\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
