Synopsis:
“Division” explores the themes of family fragmentation and marital conflict, and how these tensions ripple through an entire household. The story follows a young girl being punished and her doll, “Djaïm,” who draws her into a fantastical world inhabited by magical characters such as the hat maker, Snow White, the dwarfs, and the prince. These iconic figures guide the family on a journey toward reconciliation, helping them move beyond resentment and reclaim their lost harmony. Through this poetic fable, the play reflects on the healing of family bonds within a symbolic, fairytale-like universe.
