Jeanne Tripier Jeanne D'ArcJeanne Tripier Jeanne D'Arc
Synopsis:
a solo performance work which explores and challenges the relationship between the representational / theatrical and the phenomenological / performative. Its dramatic nucleus is comprised of three interwoven strands of narrative: the biography of Jeanne Tripier (a spiritualist medium and schizophrenic, incarcerated in the asylum of Maison-Blanche, near Paris, in 1934); the novelized biography of antoninus Heliogabalus (Roman Emperor) by antonin artaud; and the biography of Paul amlehn. During the course of the work, these three strains of narrative reflect, intersect, and infect each other.
