Project description:

In this series, celebrities discover Austria's castles and palaces, immerse themselves in their history and life behind the walls, and even have to learn a medieval craft. In the first episode, which has been produced as a proof of concept for the MediaLab, influencer Dana Rampsl visits Castle Rosenburg in Lower Austria, where she learns everything there is to know about the medieval art of falconry. She follows a practicioner of the craft throughout his work day, helps him take care of the animals, and even learns how to handle the birds herself. The project is conceived as a series with six episodes per season, in which each episode focuses on a new castle, a new medieval craft, and a new celebrity as a protagonist. The mismatch between these old walls and the modern celebrities, most of which belong to the Generation Z, is the driving point of interest of this project, and is meant to help develop interest in castles within a younger audience.
