&FEST: The Gummy Bears’ Great War

They are one centimeter long, colourful, and sticky. They are on a war footing. In this performance, the protagonists are – yes, Gummy Bears! The Gummy Bears’ Great War intimately and hilariously dissects the mechanisms that lead to war.

The state of Gummy Bears declares war on neighbouring Dinosaurs. The nation of Dinosaurs is surprised by the provocation but meets the challenge. The outcome of this laughably uneven conflict is painfully obvious from the start. Why do Gummy Bears obstinately stick to their chosen path leading to destruction?

Italian Batisfera Company’s work has charmed audiences in Italy, New York, and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This epic object theatre spectacle is as tragic as it is absurd.
