reviews

"Magic. A gem. Recommended for anyone who is looking to expand their heart and be excited. Surprise. This is the first word that comes to mind when the show begins, "A Visitor for Bear" The surprise is how in seconds, an almost empty stage makes the viewers captivated active participants, clapping their hands, and responding loudly to the story. There were no children in the audience who were bored. The story manages not to be obvious. It is interesting, exciting, funny and exciting. The acting precise.  The actors pay attention to subtle nuances of the features of the bear and the mouse both in terms of body characteristics and in terms of intonation and character. The music, which accompanies the play, is in fact just like another actor, the set, as well as its use is incredibly clever, and the costumes are charming. There is great cleanliness and precision. There is no exaggeration neither in the acting, visuals or in the music. Ahhh the music!!..."

"...Everything on stage looks and sounds amazing. The actors playing Bear and Mouse shone with the characteristic mimicry of those animals, and so did the three musicians, the storytellers, who sang and played on stage and played the role of the soundtrack. The spectators were captivated by what was happening on stage, Empathize with a bear and a mouse and were happy to discover that, as in life - even if it's difficult, true friendship always wins."
