THE bEAR presents:
🎭 MUTPROBE — Stories of Dare
📅 Saturday, Oct 4, 2025 | Berlin
What does it mean to take a dare, to test your courage, to say yes when it would be easier to say no?
On this night, storytellers step onto the stage with true, unscripted tales of risk, bravery, foolishness, and grit. From childhood dares to adult leaps of faith—this is an evening about facing your Mutprobe.
🔥 Our 99th Show!

Born and raised in Pakistan, Furqan has traveled the world and now proudly calls Berlin home. His stories weave cultural roots with global adventures, offering a perspective both playful and reflective.

Music
Alexander Dorenberg
Alexander is no stranger to The Bear stage. With his velvet voice and masterful guitar playing, he turns songs we all know into something unforgettable. Whether it’s a goosebump-inducing take on Wicked Game or a classic rock anthem that has the whole room singing along, Alexander has a rare gift: he makes every song feel both timeless and personal. A true storyteller through music, he reaches deep—into tone and into our hearts.
