At dawn, the nation of the Gummy Bears declares war against the nation of the Dinosaurs. There will be a battle, and 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 is an object theatre show that takes place on a table, with real candies, small lights and few spectators; an existential tragicomedy about our search for meaning. 'A midget gem of a show' (Telegraph).
