←Recommendations of 37 Origami Bees

Wow, this one is short, but it packs a punch! We’re presented with two different ways of walking through the world, and the better choice is very clear. I especially loved the Child’s explanation for why he knew the buzzing creature was a bee and not a wasp. Lovely!

Syran gifts us with a short poem, a moment between a mother and child, that runs deep and finds its way into your veins.
"The Child reacts with a sharp intake of breath..." So, too, will audiences.

02.12.25 - Its a small scene, a little over a minute, but it has big implications. How we engage with the world, choosing as the Child did, to let the bee go about its way, or attack it, as Bjorn did and risk hurt. It says more about us. Are you one to let the bee just, be? Nora Louise Syran gives us something important to think about. And in under 2 minutes? That’s impressive.

What a powerful 1.5 minute play by NORA LOUISE SYRAN. There are gentle moments, anxious moments, and very telling moments that will leave audience members thinking. SYRAN has the fabulous ability to create stunning worlds with very few words.

Oh wow. The insight of the child is phenomenal. Some people are like bees, too. But the people that are like wasps are terrifying. The quiet fortitude of this child is inspiring as well as heartbreaking.
