THE MAGICAL TRAVEL CARD

About understanding grief and grasping love

Gerda had just turned 8 on the day her grandfather died. Or “gone away”, as the adults said. At first, Gerda had not understood that he was dead, because lately he had often gone away, but they always found him again. But now grandpa was gone. Forever. And with him the joy was gone. And a longing as big as an elephant had weighed so heavily on Gerda’s chest that she could hardly breathe. Or sleep at night. Or playing with her dog… Right up until the day the magical travel card appeared. The performance is a co-production by Signe Kærup Dahl and ZeBU.

How do we talk to children about death?
Loss can be experienced differently, and it can be difficult to find the right words. Get more information via the national association Liv&Død by clicking here. The association works to start the good conversation about death and how it can be understood and expressed at the level of children.
