I, JOAN

The men are all fighting, again. An endless war. From nowhere, an unexpected leader emerges. Young, poor, and about to spark a revolution. This is Joan.

Rebelling against the world’s expectations, questioning the gender binary, Joan finds their power, and their belief spreads like fire.

A reinterpretation of the Joan of Arc story, straddling past and present and hopefully inspiring the future, in which Joan is non-binary.

Ilinca Radulian’s production deftly fuses text, music, movement and design, and exploits the unique dynamic at the Globe between actor and audience. Overall, it feels like a bit of a game-changer.

“Non-binary finery”: I would count it worth going for that phrase alone. To see and hear it translated into movement, shape, colour, sound and gesture is to be part of a remaking of the stage, an explosion of new life.
