The Gummy Bears’ Great War

At dawn, the nation of the Gummy Bears declares war against the nation of the Dinosaurs. The Gummies will prepare for war, there will be a battle, and the Dinosaurs will win the fight. But even if the outcome is tragically obvious, the question remains: What makes the candies so obstinate? The Gummy Bears’ Great War is an object-theatre show that takes place on a table, with real candies, small lights, and few spectators. An existential tragicomedy about our search for meaning.

‘Perfect marriage of dramaturgy and design…a heart-wrenching, mouth-watering, theatrical experience’ (BroadwayDnaBlog.Substack.com).
