  In this paper, the design and the performance of a prototype detector based
on MicroMegas technology with two detection planes in a common gas volume is
discussed. The detector is suited for the forward region of LHC detectors,
addressing the high-rate environment and limited available space. Each
detection plane has an active area of 9x9 cm^2 with a two-dimensional strip
readout and is separated by a common gas region with a height of 14 mm. A
micro-mesh, working as a cathode, is placed in the middle of the common gas
volume separating it into two individual cells. This setup allows for an angle
reconstruction of incoming particles with a precision of 2 mrad. Since this
design reduces the impact of multiple scattering effects by the reduced
material budget, possible applications for low energy beam experiments can be
envisioned. The performance of the prototype detector has been tested with a
4.4 GeV electron beam, provided by the test beam facility at DESY.
