Hercules travels by bike from Krefeld in the Lower Rhine region to Mount Olympus, the throne of ancient deities. In the process, the legend of Hercules, as a primal myth of masculine power, is interrogated by means of biographical reflections and stagings of mythological echoes. The dramatic structure of this hero's journey breaks up, in multi-material perspective, into issues of male identity, ideals and remorse.
