Actor Martin Brambach, known for his role in Dresden's 'Tatort', recently visited the 'Herkules' exhibition in Dresden's Old Masters, where he was allowed a private viewing and recorded background videos for the exhibit as a gesture of goodwill. The exhibition explores the myth of Hercules, showcasing ancient artifacts, artworks, and modern interpretations that reflect on the hero's complex character, including themes of strength, vulnerability, and the concept of 'toxic masculinity'. Brambach's visit was prompted by a personal story involving his father, who in 1967 secretly took a valuable travel typewriter from the Albertinum, a story Brambach shares in his travel guide 'Nice to meet you, Dresden.' The exhibition also highlights Dresden's historical connection to Hercules, especially through the figure of August the Strong, who used Hercules as a symbol of power. Meanwhile, Brambach expressed a strong emotional connection to Dresden, revealing a desire to spend more time in his hometown, which he feels is culturally rich and different from Berlin. His busy schedule, however, limits his visits, and recent financial pressures on the MDR have led to fewer Dresden-based 'Tatort' episodes, with many scenes now shot in Leipzig to save costs. Brambach's reflections reveal a deep sense of nostalgia and a wish to reconnect with his roots, amid the challenges faced by the local film industry.
