Dear presenters

Gazart has created a performance about being a child of divorced parents and living in different homes. Divorced families with shared custody are usually viewed as something very normal in Denmark. In fact, about one third of all Danish children have divorced parents. And this seems to apply increasingly to many countries. But for the children a divorce is often a traumatic experience. It’s often related to emotional disturbance and loneliness. Therefore we believe it’s important to bring focus to the subject.

With the use of dance, music, humor and real stories from children who are living in divorced families, the performance explores the everyday life of children under shared custody, new marriages, home-moving days and everything else.

We hope that we have caught your attention, and that you find the performance interesting. Below you can read more about it, and find trailers, photos, reviews,  and a video of the full piece.

A WHOLE IS ONE HALF AND TWO QUARTERS

A musical and physical performance about children under shared custody 

A performance about divorse and about belonging to multiple homes and families. About moving back and forth, forgetting and being forgotten, being home and at the same time missing home. And about why is seems like the swimwear is always at the other parent’s house. But it’s also about extra siblings, big families and lots of people to love.

With humor and care it takcels the issues and challenges associated with living with many families as a child.

“The performance can initiate great conversations with the children, that you wouldn’t otherwise have had, and it makes you curious on your own emotions and experiences. Recognizability, the mirroring of situations that you can identify with is important. The performance is my way of mirroring the changeable reality of children of divorce.”
– Tali Rázga, choreographer
