The last polar bear is looking for a friend!
The ice floes are melting away in the Arctic while the little polar bear Benny is still sitting on them. He starts his search for a new home – and for a friend with whom he can have a family. Otherwise, he fears, his species will become extinct. Benny finds a friend in Polly, the chicken, but although she is a really good friend, she simply refuses to marry and have young ones with him.
So he places a lonely-hearts ad and meets with other, very nice animals: but neither the giraffe Anni, nor the whale Ute are the right fit for him. Ute can hold her breath much longer than he can, and it’s simply too hot for him where Anni lives… But then Benny gets mail from Isabella, and he dares to become hopeful once more.
Originally a theatre play that has been performed in Germany and abroad, The Bear and the Universe is a little masterpiece that treats the most pressing topic of our times in a playful manner.
