The author about “Grey Bees”:

– This is a story about the “gray zone”, which can be inside or around a person. What is the influence of the environment – both political and social – on the life of a person who lives in places where there are not enough initiatives, thoughts, colors. That is, in principle, where the country is not felt, but only the territory is felt.

Director of the play:

– This is generally a very simple story. About people far from a banal policy, from its slogans, about people who are in doubt.

There is no one in the play – for Ukraine, and another – against it. Life has put in such circumstances that one of them is more convenient to go for food to the territory controlled by the occupants. Such a choice can not be condemned, because the war is unnatural for a person.

There is such a statement: “You can pay no attention to politics, but there will come a time when politics will take care of you”.
