Jane of Arc
And Jana said, "How dare you?"

How dare you? Said Jane,
when she heard voices, she set out without hesitation into a bloody battle.
The collective dream of the medieval people about a savior who can stop the Hundred Years' War. However, the trust of the nobility or soldiers is not gained easily to a young inexperienced girl. Jana has to go through tough trials to convince those around her of her abilities. The uncompromising clash with authority and the machinations of power accompany it at every turn. John relies on faith, but who are the voices that speak to her? Her trance states arouse mistrust in some, while her ability to see beyond the horizon brings hope to others. What does Jana believe in? In God? What if God is silent? Will the card seller help, or does she have to rely only on herself? But the Inquisition says clearly: This girl is on fire!
Collectively created, this all-ensemble production inspired by the legend of Jana z Arku addresses the question of what we believe in today. Can one woman change the world? And should she be on her own? Activism, egoism, or both at once? Jana's story challenges gender norms and makes visible radical beliefs about utopias and inherent truth. Should we take away our lives when we believe, through which we prove to save the world? John of Arc talks about how to overcome opposition, which I do not understand, about childhood sweetheart and malaise in youth. Only God can cancel me.
