Five actors meet in a house on Christmas Eve to make a movie. While waiting to have dinner with someone they don't know or if they're actually going to show up, they reveal secrets and look back on their lives. From this encounter, joys, frustrations, absences and passions surface at the edge of tension.

Politics. Religion. Nabucco is Verdi's retelling of the Old Testament story of King Nebuchadnezzar II's religious conversion. On one side, the fiery Hebrew priest Zaccaria, battling to lead his people from oppression. On the other, Nabucco, the tyrannical Babylonian king and his adopted daughter Abigaille, who will stop at nothing to get her father's throne and her sister's lover. Will King Nabucco's ambition rob him of his beloved daughter as well as his kingdom?

Created at the 2019 Avignon Festival, The Lingering Now, Our Odyssey II made a splash with audiences and critics alike. In a singular form that joins theatre and film, Christine Jatahy treats the subject of migration with infinite depth: “That which forces millions of individuals to be on the move. That which nationalism traps in refugee camps where life, suspended, elapses. No salvation for these men, these women, these children ripped from their ancestral homes with no promise of any future. A time that stretches endlessly where memories burn the heart, unable to move forward.”
