Sort/Hvid goes to electronic war with Joan of Arc in a new, radical opera about the iconic female army commander.

In a time when Europe is shaken by war, we melt together the icon Joan of Arc, our present time’s stories about the call of war, digital warfare, and radical power structures. On stage we find opera singers, modern dancers, and live music, in a deconstruction of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera Giovanna D’Arco from 1845, by composer and sound artist Søs Gunver Ryberg. Staged by director Anja Behrens and scenographer Nathalie Mellbye, Jeanne d’arc becomes a musically carnal grip with an uncomfortable question, one which we all might have to answer in a near future: will you go to war for justice?
