In her dance evening with choir and drums, Lillian Stillwell, head of Dance Münster, embarks on the trails of the French national heroine.
At the age of 17, the historical Joan of Arc entered the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453) to lead the French army. She felt a divine calling that gave her the strength to fight victoriously against England. However, the young woman refused church allegiance, wanting only to obey God. Thus, she ended up as a witch on the stake. Lillian Stillwell, head of Dance Münster, discovered the biography of the French national hero for herself, inspired by her courage, unwavering vision, and strength of youth. In her dance evening with choir and drums, the choreographer traces the path of visionary power, but also the associated fear.
