Joan of Arc Ascending

Doctor Keir Co.—Théâtre Cercle Molière

I feel as though this show is what I WISH every history lesson in school had been like! A fascinating, engaging and entertaining tale of a woman who has become a legend in the 6 centuries since her death. Joan of Arc has inspired so much art, lore and speculation and I learnt a lot more than I ever known previously. I enjoyed the serenading and some haunting vocals, as well as the reminder that our understanding of the world is incomplete and that the extraordinary is beyond our philosophy. Hers is a story that is so incredible, it almost seems unreal and yet, to this day, she still captivates our imaginations. Cutler also has a published book that includes even more details about her life that there wasn’t enough time for in the hour slot. Highly recommend.
