What you need to know
- Statues to spot afterward: Hercules and Jupiter, figures from the story, stand in and around the building
- Lively, gesture-heavy telling: Marinelli tells with humor, and with hands and feet when words run out
- Three afternoon slots daily, easy to fit around a visit to the rest of the Humboldt Forum
About
Storytellers Nicola Knappe and Maria Carmela Marinelli follow a block of stone, cut from a mountain near Berlin, that became the figures in and around the Humboldt Forum, like Hercules and Jupiter. They weave its adventures together with myths from antiquity, told with humor in German and Italian side by side. It suits kids who can follow a spoken story in at least one of the two languages.
