In Dédoublée, Rosa Bursztein explores love, family heritage and ideological contradictions at the Théâtre de la Renaissance in a show that combines introspection and irony. To be discovered on June 16, 2025.

With Dédoublée, Rosa Bursztein continues her work of staging the intimate in a personal, autofictional stand-up that is assertive in its contradictions. On stage at the Théâtre de la Renaissance, the comedian delivers a first-person narrative where existential questions, family memories and reflections on feminism and the moral injunctions of our time intersect.

In this show, announced as lasting 1h15, Rosa Bursztein lucidly and humorously questions her position as "bad feminist", "bad ecologist", "bad leftist", in a world where everyone is summoned to have a clear and irreproachable posture. Directed by Adrienne Ollé.

Part generational analysis, part family portrait, Dédoublée draws on personal anecdotes to tackle universal themes: the weight of origins, family legacies, the need to love and be loved, and the difficulty of aligning one's convictions with one's actions. The tone is a blend of sensitivity, irony and irreverence, in a form that borrows as much from stand-up as from theatrical one-man shows.

Through a narrative in the form of a funny, offbeat confession, Rosa Bursztein offers an insight into an era where public morality clashes with individual contradictions, where ideological battles are sometimes played out as if in the playground, and where adults continue to be inhabited by their childhood.

Dédoublée could appeal to an audience with a taste for introspectivestand-up, for life stories embraced in their complexity, and for humor on the borderline between the personal and the political. It will appeal to those who appreciate a critical look at the contradictions of our times, without sacrificing laughter or tenderness. Audiences looking for a traditional show or constructed fiction may be less receptive to this kind of fragmented, highly personal narrative.
