KRIEG ODER FRIEDEN

2 actresses and a 100-year-old teddy bear. They join forces to buck the tide of time:

Why is warfare suddenly sexy and peace yesterday's news? What is war anyway? And where does it start - outside or inside?

With wild playfulness, razor-sharp curiosity and lots of clever books in their luggage, the three of them venture into NATO headquarters. They must know this: Why do people go to war? And is peace even possible?
Voices and images emerge: 20th/21st century - at first clear, then less and less distinguishable. And then suddenly Teddy speaks up...

With their theater evening, the two theater makers show that war is more than an abstract experience and peace more than a "nice to have". Based on extensive research, they have created a play that creates surprising perspectives (on our own certainties) and invites us to (re)enter into conversation with one another. A piece of well-founded enlightenment and a passionate plea for peace and human freedom.
