Auditions for "The Last of the Wild Bees"

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.

ACTING ROLES
There are 4 acting roles available: 2 male and 2 female.

AVAILABILITY
You must be available for all of the final rehearsals and performances in the period 25 Nov–8 Dec 2024. (You can find more detailed info in the audition form.)

HOW TO PREPARE

ATTENDANCE

AUDITON FORM

Driving towards the rain

DTtR almost square no textDance, music and poetry meet each other in this physical, English/Finnish bilingual exploration of Adrian Goldman’s writing.

Driving towards the rain/Ajaen kohti sadetta is a unique bilingual poetic/movement/music physical encounter that breathes through Adrian Goldman’s writing of the last 22 years. The work evokes the mundane, insignificant, frail moments that nevertheless make us who we are. Who is it that we encounter in going back to those moments; a (past?) version of our self, or a fellow traveller? The movement of two dancers and the sound of the clarinet interact with the poetry. Space is given for sound and movement to emerge in the moment. Parts of the poems are rendered in Finnish, inviting the viewer to feel how lived moments resonate in two languages.

"With this world, this lawn, this us, this very breath
Frailed as a quillet of philosophy
Improbable as a dream
As the breath you might have taken –"

Concept / Adrian Goldman & Marjukka Savolainen
Dance / Adrian Goldman & Katariina Harjunpää
Texts / Adrian Goldman
Music / John Millar
