Directed by Joël Maillard and adapted from Nina Yargekov’s novel, Double nationalité is a choral theatrical investigation into identity and its contradictions.

Choreographer Chiara Bersani invites the audience into the undergrowth of an imagined forest, performed in duo with dancer Elena Sgarbossa and a group of workshop participants. The piece stages bodies limited by disability to probe movement, survival and collective care. Inspired by confinement and the inequalities revealed by the pandemic, it turns the stage into an ecosystem — a vibrating floor, layered soundscape and a shared spatial attention — where small gestures, bodily memory and vulnerability become transformative forces and the basis for a newly imagined community.
