Hannah Schillinger: Joan

EN:

"Joan" deals with the western warrior figure Joan of Arc from a queer perspective.
The dance performance takes up motifs from Friedrich Schiller's patriarchal and bourgeois literary classic "The Maid of Orleans" and reinterprets them.
Disobedient, tender and seductive, "Joan" unfolds between embodied storytelling, show and ritual in an alternative audience setting.
The performers explore how heroic and religious gestures can be reinterpreted and recontextualized.
"Joan" deals with the question of who shapes cultural narratives, which perspectives are expressed in them and which are excluded, and how stories can be opened up through plural perspectives.
