Forest Rebels

A young Berlin theatre company comes to the "Staatstheater Cottbus" to rehearse for a play about the history of the forests in Germany and how this is tied to culture and identity. A documentary team is onsite to capture the rehearsals, but the impact of the pandemic causes the team to lockdown in the building to complete the play. From jealous rivalries between cast members, to the warm humour of day-to-day theatre life, this mockumentary brings together an unruly bunch of artists determined to keep the show alive with a dose of dry, sharp humour.
