JOAN OF ARC -
VISION THROUGH FIRE [Norway]
written by Juni Dahr and John Morrow
performed by Juni Dahr
It's 1425, the time of the Hundred Years' War. Joan, a 13-years-old French peasant girl from Lorraine, hears divine voices telling her to drive out the English from her country and bring the Dauphin to Reims for his coronation. After some military efforts, Joan is captured by the Burgundians in 1430 and sold to the English who turn her over to the Holy Inquisition. At the age of 19 Joan is burned at the stake for heresy on May 30, 1431.
With an intriguing collage of contemporary texts, the acclaimed Norwegian actress Juni Dahr manages to tell a fascinating story about passion and devotion that had inspired playwrights like William Shakespeare, George B. Shaw and Bertolt Brecht.
Die world premiere of "Joan of Arc - Vision through Fire" took place in Los Angeles in 1988. Since then, Juni Dahr has become one of Scandinavia's most renowned theatre actresses. She performed at THESPIS in 2001 ("Kristin Lavransdatter") and in 2004 ("Ibsen Women").
