When a teddy bear is over 100 years old, its eyes have seen a lot. Its arms are covered in patches from all the comforting. Such a teddy bear is “Bär”. He has been present in very beautiful and very terrible moments, for example, when the walls shook from the bombs. Or when Irene's grandmother was deported. Bär has experienced all of this. Until now, he has listened; now he speaks for himself.

Documentary object theater about the persecution during the Nazi dictatorship, told from the perspective of a teddy bear.

“Even though one is dealing with hard material here, even though oppressive nights of bombing are described or the deportation of the grandmother, the bear is always there, making even the worst fate bearable. This is the great quality of this production: it manages to not conceal the drastic events without deeply traumatizing the audience.” (Falk Schreiber, fidena.de)

Based on the biography of Irene Grumach Shirun, written down by Jill Levenfeld
