coproduction AREA 06
There was this galapagos turtle called lonesome george. He was the last of his kind. He has nothing more to do. Not biologically because there is no one to reproduce nor politically or whatever. This play is about time, world, hot topics, love, hate, tears, everything. Only 2 weeks after starting writing this play, in real life lonesome george died.

Bonn Park has won the Innovationspreis – award at the Heidelberger Stückemarkt for his first play Die Leiden Des Jungen SuperMario in2D (something like The Sorrows of Young SuperMario in2D ) in 2011. His play Große stolze Männer was shown in Abakan, Siberia, for the first time in 2014. In the same year his play Traurigkeit & Melancholie (Sadness&Melancholy, it really does sound stupid in english) was awarded with the Else-Lasker-Schüler-Stückepreis, printed in the december magazine of Theater der Zeit, produced as a radio play by Deutschlandradio and is being premiered at the Theater Bonn in June 2015. One day later his latest play FLANKUFUROTO is being premiered as well at the Schauspiel Frankfurt.
