A play based on texts by Horst Stern as part of the exhibition ‘Kaiser Friedrich II., Welt und Kultur des mediterraneraumes’ at the Landesmuseum für Natur und Mensch, Oldenburg
The last hours of a great powerful man. Abandoned by friends, despised, banished and reviled as heretics. Betrayed by his own son, betrayed by the closest adviser, a broken ruler, consumed by constant wars and ill. He is ahead of his time by epochs, promoter of science and art, poet and scholar, mediator between the Orient and the Occident, perhaps the first European ever! This man of action knows that he will not leave this camp. He, the most powerful of the princes of the world, 'The wonder and the transformer of the world', will die. And he's still tormented by questions he hasn't found answers to. Questions of a Roman-German emperor, King of Sicily and Jerusalem, first to God about the true nature of men and animals, the true doves and the fear of the other.
Questions that still move us, to which we also cannot find answers.
