Le nom du monde est Białowieża

Directed by Filippo Filliger and written by Dorothée Thébert and Filippo Filliger, this theatrical piece follows Agathe’s encounters with the primeval Białowieża forest, where trees and animals spoke in her dreams until a border wall silenced them. Performers Coline Bardin, Charlotte Dumartheray, Lara Khattabi and Aline Papin weave testimony from activists and aid workers into a lyrical investigation of migration, political violence and environmental rupture. Jessica Decorvet’s scenography frames a fragile landscape that seeks to recover the forest’s voice.

In French.
