The commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the beginning of the Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648), will highlight the events of this multinational war of great magnitude that opposed Catholics and Protestants of Europe urging them to kill each other.The European dimension of this conflict is the core of our project and allows us to organize an educational, emotional and engaging media event while enhancing this period of history which is still representative of actual European scene. AGE OF IRON, re-tells the story of the Thirty Years’ War period that fundamentally shaped Europe developed its religion, culture and identity. We created it as a major 360° project made up of a 6 x 52’ documentary drama series, exciting interaction between television, internet and museum event thanks to an innovative mobile application, a historical novel and an international exhibition. AGE OF IRON is designed to offer viewers an emotional access to this seemingly opaque and very distant period of time. Using animated paintings (one step from virtual reality) and drama sequences, the series will build a bridge between “now” and “then” and enable viewers to dive into everyday life during the Thirty Years’ War. Conceived as an immersive historical sweep, we shall experience the war, the politics, the personal stories and the 17th century’s history from the points of view of 8 different characters, based on their diaries and letters, belonging to different countries and speaking different european languages. These characters are relating like time capsules to people’s fears, feelings and hopes and to the unrelieved misery of this devastating war. AGE OF IRON will therefore interweave 8 individual, diary based stories to a panoramical picture of history. The project is a time tunnel which connects us to the origins of Europe through an overall view of our cultural heritage. |
