Welcome to open auditions for The Last of the Wild Bees, written and directed by Vladislav Nenchev. Auditions will be held at the NoName Theatre Helsinki (Hietaniemenkatu 7B) on Saturday 31 August at 1 pm. Please note that you must register in advance in order to participate.
The PLAY
This is the not-so-distant future of ours, in which all species of wild bees have gone extinct. The Wild Bees of Ettlingen, often addressed just as "The Bees", is a small volunteer organisation dedicated to taking care of the forests and meadows which have lost their most impactful natural pollinators. We focus on four of the most pivotal members of "The Bees" as they prepare for one of their regular "flights" – which is gearing up to be a monumental disaster, as multiple conflicts, rivalries, and personal problems threaten the future of these guardians of the memory of lost species.
