In the organizer's words:
The Maid of Orleans- by Friedrich Schiller- premiere on January 21, 2023 in the Kreuzkirche Pempelfort - Play.
In Friedrich Schiller's romantic tragedy "The Maid of Orleans", Joan of Arc, a girl from the French provinces, feels called to lead the French against the English invasion in 1429. With courage, faith and youthful radicalism, Jeanne (called Joan) dares to defy an authoritarian system.
Schiller's powerful drama is one of the best-known interpretations of the French national myth. It tells of political calculation, religious extremism and the male view of female heroism. Johanna is first appointed a military leader, then slandered as a devil's bride, and finally stylized as a saint. The production "Johanna (to go)" takes a contemporary look at Schiller's drama and thus also illuminates how the world today looks at feisty female activists who dare to stand between the fronts.
