2 actresses and a 100-year-old teddy bear. They join forces to buck the tide of the times: why is warfare suddenly sexy and peace a thing of the past?

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 it even possible to achieve peace?
Voices and images emerge: 20th/21st century - at first clear, then less and less distinguishable. And then Teddy suddenly speaks up...

With their theatre evening, the two theatre 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 dialogue with one another. A piece of well-founded enlightenment and a passionate plea for peace and human freedom.
