What if Moscow could be how we imagined it? What if it was a step towards change? What if it was a leap into the abyss that transported us to the new? From The Three Sisters, by Anton Chekhov, Christiane transposes these questions onto theatre and film, showing them from multiple points of view, creating intersections between reality and fiction, actor and character, past and present. What if They Went to Moscow? is a piece that unfolds in two simultaneous sessions. One is presented in the context of the theatre. The other takes place in a different room, where the filmed and edited version is screened, directly, from the performance. The audience is invited to watch the two versions on the same day.
