Jeanne d'Arc au Bûcher - Joan of Arc at the stake

The content on this page was translated automatically.

Witch and virgin, heretic and saint, girl and war heroine - Joan of Arc continues to fascinate people to this day. In the fanatical belief that she was called by supernatural voices, Joan of Arc led the French army to victory in the Hundred Years' War. However, she was then captured, interrogated and burned at the stake. Jeanne d'Arc au Bûcher / Joan of Arc at the Stake is set in the final stages of Joan of Arc's life. In the face of her death, the heavenly voices that had once called her and the accusing voices of the earth come crashing in on her - it is a dream journey through her memories and her life. The story of Joan of Arc and the figure that has been received for centuries defies unambiguity and linearity; it remains resistant, opaque and provocative. Who is Joan of Arc? What is she fighting for? For France, God, herself? Joan of Arc crosses borders and causes systems of power to collapse; yet she is condemned, murdered, worshipped and instrumentalized by the same powers.
