saint somebody
Created and Performed by Clara Potter-Sweet, Emma Clark, and Ang Kia Yee
SYNOPSIS
A voice reads out a testimony. A girl dances through time. Part-seance, part-trial, part-ritual, it's time for us to write a little history of our own.
In a room of funhouse mirrors, watched by her reflections, Joan of Arc dies over and over again - in a fire, in history books, in categorisation.
Sit with us. Be patient. We’ll exhume the myths and dig up the stories to find what’s underneath. Joan is a maid, a teenager, a warrior, a martyr. Now, she’s a celebrity, a ghost. Stay with us. We’ll unearth the only written record of her words; now with many voices, Joan speaks.
