Two metre chats - quarantine having divorced parents 1

The emphasis is on divorced parents and the silent pain suffered by not being able to hug and come close to each other given the risks involved especially when parents are clinically at risk. "Two metre chats" is what we as a family called them.

This piece was made as part of ENO's Lockdown Aria challenge. Children and young people across the country made work inspired by the concept of an Aria "a single character sharing their inner emotional world and thoughts with an audience."

The work was created as part of Arts Council England's The Way I See It project which captures the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the lives of children and young people, articulated in their own voices, through their own creativity.

English National Opera is the national opera company dedicated to one simple aim: making opera for everyone.
