Carrying the sky

Not far from Berlin, near a river, a large mountain rises into the sky. It has stood there unchanged for thousands of years. Until one day craftsmen come and cut a large piece of rock out of the mountain and take it with them. And that's how it begins, the story of a stone. We can still see them today, the stone figures in and at the Humboldt Forum. Be it the great ancient hero Hercules or the Roman god Jupiter. There are many stories associated with all these characters. But what does the stone from which they are made tell? What adventures has he had?

In the program, the two artists Nicola Knappe and Maria Carmela Marinelli combine the story of stone figures with mythological stories from antiquity to create a humorous and imaginative work of art in Italian and German.
