YouTube star Die Eisbärin, (polar bear) has come up with something special: the ultimate back-to-school-prank. You gotta entertain the followers! So, here she is, Mona, in her olf classroom, making a storytime about her life. Who cares if not everything is exactly the truth?
You have to bend reality into the shape you like best, right? That's how that works, that's how you get clicks. A solo about the compulsion to show oneself off, about bullying, and about the loss of one's identity.

Die Eisbärin in simple language
Mona is a youtuber. She makes a lot of videos. Many people watch her videos.But are her videos always true?
In the play, Mona goes back to her school. She goes to her old classroom. There is a class happening. But she wants to make a funny video.
She talks to the students. She says: I want that many people watch the video. Sometimes that is easier if you lie. If you want many views, you always have to please people and give them what they want. That is not good. It makes Mona sad.
They play happens in classrooms. The students do not know, that a theatre play is happening. After the play, the students talk about what they have seen.
