Actress Gabriele Völsch reads from "The Story of the Bees" by Maja Lunde

LesBar with the Theatre Vorpommern

In her debut novel, Norwegian author Maja Lunde skilfully interweaves three narrative strands and three time periods. Honey bees and their significance for humans take centre stage: In the year 2098, worker Tao pollinates trees by hand in China, as bees have become extinct. In England in 1852, the biologist William has the idea for a completely new type of beehive. And in 2007, beekeeper George plans to expand his farm in Ohio, but then the bees disappear. Maja Lunde not only reflects poignantly on loss, hope and the future of mankind, but also uses her narrative power to draw a line between family togetherness and responsibility for the next generation. Admission free.
