In the extraordinary area below the roofs, characterised by huge hills of earth, those who lived at the Fort in the past take centre stage. The memories of the inhabitants of Exilles, their feelings for the Fort, come to life through ethereal images of actors projected onto the walls along the visitor route. The result is extraordinarily evocative; word and gesture are especially poetic and moving and introduce the visitor to a rare, precious and quite unexpected intimacy, where the readings, taken as knowledge of the events, is something new and surprising. Images of a couple appear on the enormous mounds that rise at the centre of the space: an Alpine soldier and a young woman dance; the serious thoughtful face of the captain remains an immobile witness at the centre. So that is the other face of the Fort: up here you sometimes came to dance! A short story runs along the beams of the roof, excerpts from the The Tartar Steppe, a novel by Dino Buzzati, who was apparently influenced by this fortress when writing the novel.
