History Actress
Austriadine aims:
- To allow Maria Theresa to be experienced as a person, in order to present her special personality to people in an understandable way, as well as her clothing, the associated lifestyle and its 18th century references, and on this level also to illustrate and inspire the memory and historical significance of her era.
- To inspire people for the outstanding cultural history of the 18th century in Austria and the formative Maria Theresian era through the unique and most fascinating monarch in European history, whose great changes and reforms still form the decisive foundation for the future in Austria today.
- To contribute to and support the promotion of an important national history with its great diversity in Baroque architecture (palaces, palais, parks, gardens, institutions, etc.) and thus to stimulate historical interest in this era.
- To support and illustrate the preservation of the cultural heritage of customs and traditions, music, art, research and education, which was introduced in the 18th century by Maria Theresa and is part of our cultural heritage today.
- To support and cooperate in the development of further historical projects, events and plans at home and abroad, which are aimed at by international artists, associations, societies and cultural organisations and which are in the spirit of the times of the 18th century and of Empress Maria Theresa, as well as to exchange ideas with each other in order to achieve a common goal on a historical level.
Austriadine`s portrayal as Maria Theresa, the first female regent to head the multi-ethnic Habsburg dynasty, is based on many years of very intensive research of historical sources. The impressive national and cultural history of 18th century Austria thus also brought about an interpretation (of her own) as an artist of the splendid and detailed dress fashions in the spirit of Maria Theresa's time, as she herself wore them and which were also immortalised in paintings. This elaborate wardrobe, which has been tailor-made over the years, and the accompanying props in the style of the 18th century are thus designed and made to a high standard by Austriadine herself.
