Bee Detective is an interactive outdoor performance which invites young audiences and their families (deaf and hearing), on an adventure into the inner sanctum of a bee hive. This intimate spectacle will evoke the sights and sounds of a hive through inventive new technology and creative captioning. Featuring 360 degree animations by James Merry, vibration effects to represent bee buzzing, and bee "waggle dance" choreography by Chisato Minamamura, the show encourages the audience to play detective and discover why bees are under threat, and how we can help them.
Written and performed by Sophie Woolley, directed by Gemma Fairlie, and produced by Michelle Owoo this production is supported by Polka Theatre and Oily Cart.
