Bees 3 - 4 Oct 2026
Pack a picnic for a free, interactive outdoor theatre show for families at the National Botanic Gardens, Dublin.
All performances of Bees are non-verbal, relaxed and outdoors.
Bees by Polyglot Theatre is a joyful, interactive work in which children are welcomed into a world of community, communication, wonder, and imagination. Explore a buzzing, humming hive of activity, as three human-sized Bees busy themselves in the creation of a community.
Children can follow the performers, play alongside them, transform into bees, or simply watch the action unfold. The bees are fascinating, strange, and beautiful, traversing invisible pathways and mapping delicate patterns across the performance space.
Inspired by the mysterious life of bees, this non-verbal performance immerses children in the sounds, shapes, and scents of an intricate, unseen world.
Presented in partnership with Dublin Theatre Festival as part of the Theatre for Children season at Dublin Theatre Festival 2026. Supported by the Australian Embassy
Polyglot Theatre and its 2026 Dublin tour have been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body. Polyglot is also supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
