THE bEAR – Berlin’s Top 10 Storytellers Take the Stage
An Evening of True Stories, Live Music, and Unforgettable Moments
Each year, true story fans from across Berlin come together to breathe fresh life into the ancient art of storytelling — revealing its power to connect us in authentic, meaningful ways.
In this special curated edition, the top 10 storytellers, voted audience favorites at THE bEAR’s last 10 shows return to the stage — voices that have moved, thrilled, and inspired.
What’s shared is real. What’s spoken is honest. What we hear, we’ve all felt.
Told live — no notes, no filters — and in English (reflecting our international community on stage and in the audience), these personal stories all revolve around one universal theme:
The Pursuit of Happiness.
What does it even mean to chase joy in today’s world?
Tales that surprise, stir laughter, and open hearts will be presented — weaving through the absurd, the beautiful, and the deeply human. With each story, a new light is cast on the experience of being alive.
Add to that the intimacy of live piano, a vibrant audience, and the raw courage of people baring their souls on stage — and you have a night that’s part theater, part confession, part celebration.
Since 2015, THE bEAR has been Berlin’s home for authentic, true storytelling.
Over 97 sold-out shows prove it: storytelling isn’t just an art — it’s a way to connect, to witness, to feel alive.
Our shared human story, told in so many individual ways.
Made in Berlin with love.
