Romantic tragedy based on Friedrich Schiller, in an adaptation by Joanna Bednarczyk 
and a translation by Olaf K&uuml;hl

Nationaltheater Mannheim

Schiller&rsquo;s drama was first performed in 1801 and presents Jeanne d&rsquo;Arc as a farmer&rsquo;s daughter who sets out on the divine mission of turning the French army&rsquo;s crumbling fortunes of war against the English. But who is the Johanna behind the myth? In her adaptation, dramaturg Joanna Bednarczyk examines the text from a present-day feminist perspective. Director Ewelina Marciniak and her cast describe Johanna&rsquo;s path with subtly tuned choreographic, audio-visual and musical devices as a process of emancipation.Statement of the jury Who is this Johanna, or Joan, in Friedrich Schiller&rsquo;s romantic tragedy &ldquo;Die Jungfrau von Orleans (The Maid of Orleans)&rdquo;? A role model for emancipation? A religious fanatic? An idealist&rsquo;s brainchild? Looking for the woman behind the clich&eacute;s, director Ewelina Marciniak and dramaturg Joanna Bednarczyk rewrite and comment on Schiller&rsquo;s text, deconstructing it every way they can think of. Their dreamlike video images above the stage and choreographies that suggest the turmoil of war and pathos as well as a party atmosphere and the flush of emotions are strong theatrical devices. In the end, the virgin emerges as a male construct, as a historical, religious and literary character. Marciniak counters this with the voices of the women and female actors onstage, who exchange their ideas about the dangers and the nature of acting: &ldquo;Everything changes; the world changes along with the change in you.&rdquo; Which this show &ndash; with all its productive fuzziness and its radical nature &ndash; proves impressively.<a href="https://mediathek.berlinerfestspiele.de/en/theatertreffen/2022/georg-kasch-ueber-die-jungfrau-von-orleans" target="_blank" title="To the video statement of Georg Kasch (in German)">To juror Georg Kasch&rsquo;s video statement in the Berliner Festspiele Media Library</a>
