Nathalie Quintane circumvents the biographical to explore this well-known story from inside Joan's experience.
In this retelling of Joan of Arc’s trials and tribulations, Nathalie Quintane scuffs up the surface of language to get at paradoxes and nuances that reveal the two parts of Joan’s life: warrior on the surface and austere virgin underneath. Quintane works this into a metaphor for contemporary feminist self-performance that subverts dominant narratives, limiting the image of woman as pawn to power.

Joan
I am the saint on the air
Catherine’s voice in your ear
Others will speak through you
Joan, you are exceptional,
but you must fight to stay modest.
When men follow you
never forget to tell them of the Catholic faith
your knees will guide horses
Catherine creates Joan Darc
you cannot last here
