Romain and Sabah. He sits on a rocking horse - "bought on eBay!" - and gallops against his loneliness. She wears a feather in her hair - "because I'm a Sioux!" - and is looking for allies in the fight against the great white buffalo. They are both nine years old. One day, their eyes meet through the windows of the high-rise housing estate where they live with their families. They live opposite each other, but come from different worlds. While their parents emphasize these differences and set themselves apart, the two free themselves from their parents' prejudices. They break out of the narrow confines of their families and discover their own world full of childlike love, deep friendship and fantastic adventures. However, instead of reaching out to each other, their parents clash and destroy their delicate relationship.

With "Die Zertrennlichen", Fabrice Melquiot has written a remarkable text for children's theater, which succeeds in telling a modern encounter between two children that transcends cultural differences and resentment by borrowing from great tragedies and archaic myths. In 2018, he won both the French "Grand Prix de Littérature dramatique Jeunesse" and the German Children's Theater Prize for his work.
