Polaris, a project by Jan-Christoph Gockel, is a mockumentary stage piece about a crime in Antarctica, playing in the Kammer at Deutsches Theater Berlin.
It starts from a 2018 news story: a Russian researcher reportedly stabbed a colleague who had revealed the ending of a book. In January 2026 Gockel travelled to the Neumayer Station III with documentary filmmaker Lion Bischof and actors Julia Gräfner and Wolfram Koch. The result moves between fiction and documentary film, exploring human limits and Antarctica as a stateless no man's land.
On stage are Julia Gräfner, Wolfram Koch and Anton Berman on live music. It runs 1 hour 45 minutes with no interval, is recommended for school year 11 and up, and uses strobe effects.
