L’Ours

“You’re not a bear—you’re just a fool who needs a shave and is wearing a fur coat!” In a story-making workshop, an illustrator and a puppeteer tell us the story of a bear trapped in a factory. Caught up in a world that isn’t his own, will the bear be able to hold onto his identity?

With this new production, the INDEX company continues to explore the meaning of our existence and invites us to embrace our individuality.

Based on F. Tashlin’s picture book The Bear that wasn’t!
