Description
In Parts to Whole, a man and a woman discuss and explore their intimacy in ways so simple as to be radical.
Much like Adam Seelig's Like the First Time (praised in the Globe&Mail as "striking, fascinating and darkly comic"), Parts to Whole is written without punctuation so that the actors may choose how they emphasize the text, and the unorthodox spacing on each page is generated by the vertical alignment of certain letters and words, creating a tonal zone for the dialogue. Parts to Whole also marks Seelig's further exploration into his notion of 'charactor'.
