Die Jungfrau von Orleans A romantic tragedy by Friedrich Schiller

The young girl Joan: her love of people, sense of justice, imagination and faith arouse superhuman forces within her. She leads the French army in the war against the English occupying troops. Miraculously the inferior French forces manage to beat back the English. However, Joan cannot celebrate victory. In the commotion of battle she loses her heart to a young English soldier. She has broken her oath and thus loses her invincibility. The catastrophe begins ...
Her soul is torn between duty and passion. In the end, we see a destroyed human being. In the end, death becomes her destiny.
The young actress Charlotte Müller performs Johanna. The myth of Joan of Arc has always fascinated dramatic advisers as well as film directors. From Anouilh to Brecht, from Claudel to Dryer and Bresson. Our modern, educated view of human nature which denies any myths finds it counter-image in this fragile being of the Middle Ages.
