Pestˢ

The curious events that form the show have occurred on several occasions throughout history. The main cause being that the gods periodically amuse themselves by branding humanity with the red-hot iron of its insignificance. If, in the beginning, the gods had stopped bickering, if Rome had foreseen its downfall, everything would have been turned upside down. The vagaries of fate and the hazardous twists and turns would have been inevitably altered. We don't really know anymore, that's for sure. We, the playthings of history, review the great events of humanity. The Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the 18th, and 19th centuries and beyond... We take a look back at defining moments and try to understand what the hell is going on! Interpretations may overlap, but there is only one history: the true one, and in particular this one.

Mayerling

Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria clashes with his father, Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, over implementing progressive policies for their country. Rudolf soon feels he is a man born at the wrong time in a country that doesn't realize the need for social reform. The Prince of Wales, later to become Britain's King Edward VII, provides comic relief. Rudolf finds refuge from a loveless marriage with Princess Stéphanie by taking a mistress, Baroness Maria Vetsera. Their untimely demise at Mayerling, the imperial family's hunting lodge, is cloaked in mystery.

In 1844 in Paris, he meets Friedrich Engels, an industrialist’s son, who has been investigating the sordid birth of the British working class. Engels, the dandy, provides the last piece of the puzzle to the young Karl Marx’s new vision of the world. Together, between censorship and the police’s repression, riots and political upheavals, they will lead the labor movement during its development into a modern era.
