Polar Bear God is a monolog set in the disturbing territory of contemporary environmental crises. The work connects polar bears, a drastic increase in the number of children with autism and the numbing frustration of office work. Originally part of Weaver’s The Ghosts of Prague, a full-length solo performance of interwoven short monologs and projected videos, Polar Bear God struggles to balance an instinctive, spiritual life with the daily 21st century grind.
