The Bear on KCRW Berlin: Stories of passion Dina Elsayed
These true, personal stories were recorded live at The Bear on February 21, 2020 at ZENTRUM danziger50 in Prenzlauer Berg. The theme of the evening was wild: stories of passion.
The storytellers featured in this episode are Mike Trupiano, Ben McGuire, and Galuh Rohmah. Berlin musician Felix Komoll performed live. Our show’s theme is “I Need Love,” remixed by D.J. Spector.
The Bear was created by Dyane Neiman and inspired by The Moth. If you would like to tell a story or attend the next Bear storytelling evening, check out the Bear storytelling’s event page.
