Reading - Dirk Stermann: The Republic of the Insane
TOURDATA
Rathausplatz 14, 3100 St. Pölten
Dirk Stermann is back at the Cinema Paradiso with his latest novel "The Republic of the Insane" - an incredible yet true episode from the last century: spectacularly funny and frighteningly contemporary.
Fiume on the Adriatic. Until 1918, the port city belonged to the Habsburg Empire, but now Italian irregulars are moving in, led by a famous man. Gabriele D’Annunzio, poet, war hero, and fervent nationalist, proclaims the republic. In Fiume, the craziest state in world history is to be established, politics as spectacle. Among D’Annunzio's followers: a certain Mussolini. And Guido Baron Keller von Kellerer und Wolkenkeller. The daring aviator, nudist, and utopian is obsessed with an idea from futuristic artistic circles: to destroy the decaying world of yesterday and build a brilliant new one, one needs the explosive power of madness. Said and done. Patients (as harmless as possible) are requested from the insane asylums across Italy. They are to become ministers in the new state.
And so the orderly Cherubino sets out to accompany a friendly axe murderer to the Adriatic – towards the dawn of a new era, into the Republic of the Insane.
Advance ticket sales 18 EUR, box office 20 EUR, Cinema Paradiso Card 2 EUR discount.
