The Gummy Bears’ Great War

Batisfera
17 performances between Wed 7 - Mon 12 May 2025

At dawn, the nation of the Gummy Bears declares war against the nation of the dinosaurs. There will be a battle, the gummies will prepare for war, 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 takes place on a table, with real candies, small lights, and few spectators; an existential tragicomedy about our search for meaning. 

 

You may be given a Gummy Bear to eat at the performance, you can check the ingredients here.
