(Saint) Joan

A peasant from France rose to prominence as a military commander by heeding the voices of the saints in their head. Despite leading French forces to victory, she was burned at the stake for being a heretic and subsequently became a queer icon in the Catholic Church. Exploring the gender binary in Saint Joan, George Bernard Shaw's incendiary work will be re-interpreted site-specifically by seven identities of Joan.  Each of the play’s seven acts features a new performer as Joan, whose performance will be directed by Joan’s portrayer from the previous act. How does our past self-edit the hero we can become?
