WunderWelten in Augustinum: A Road Trip through Italy - Live Report by and with Martin Buschmann & Gereon Roemer

Description

In the beginning, it was all a crazy idea: When the two photographers Martin Buschmann and Gereon Roemer sit together one evening, Martin talks about his homeland Sicily. He was born and raised on the island, still vividly remembers trips with the family car to the beach and to Mount Etna. When his parents later move to Germany, they take the car with them, and since then it has been in Martin's garage. This car is called Luigi, and it's not just any car, it's a Fiat 500, built in 1967, an Italian legend. And the most important thing is: Luigi still runs! Suddenly, they have the idea: "Let's drive to Sicily with Luigi, Luigi has to go home!" But it quickly becomes clear that this journey won't be easy: Can a man who is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 100 kg fit into an old Fiat Cinquecento? Can Luigi handle the steep roads over the Alps? Is there enough space in the car for all the luggage? And where do these strange engine noises come from? When the three finally set off, they don't yet realize how long this journey will take. Several attempts are needed to reach Sicily, because Luigi is a classic car and technical breakdowns are common. But Luigi is a heartbreaker, people on the street wave to him, and Luigi repeatedly enables personal contacts with Italians. Martin Buschmann and Gereon Roemer invite you on an adventurous road trip through all of Italy - with a good dose of "Dolce Vita" and "Bella Figura". Experience in this live multimedia presentation the historic and scenic highlights of the land of longing, Italy, but also stories about the hardships and moments of happiness of such a journey. Giving up is not an option, because everyone has a common goal: Luigi has to go home!
