Alles ist Fälschung

Former artistic director of the Theatro San Carlo, former director of the academy of music San Pietro a Majella, ethnomusicologist,  playwright, composer, director and re-inventor of music theatre … Roberto De Simone, born in Naples 1933, is an encyclopaedic personality, a phenomenon, of which the public is often aware of only a partial aspect. This film is a ritual journey into the spiritual world of Roberto De Simone, featuring the theatre and music ensemble Media Aetas. Ranging from the music theatre to the fantastic, magical and religious tangles of a traditional world, which is dying out, and from the setting of an former psychiatric clinic to some barely known aspects of Neapolitan history.
