This contemporary re-imagining of the Joan of Arc story takes place over the course of one night in Oakland in May of 2020, as five teenagers shelter in a candle factory following a George Floyd protest. Stories and timelines combine as moments from the past reverberate into the present, illuminating the revolutionary vision of Joan of Arc, exploring solidarity in the face of oppression, and revealing the way this classic heroine’s spirit continues to permeate our world today. At once humorous and harrowing, this 60-minute chamber piece unravels at a break-neck speed, alternating between realism and an avant-garde theatrical style as the past and present collide, turning the Saint Joan myth on its head and revealing the ways in which each of us is both the savior and destroyer of a world that is burning.
