Joan of Arc will throw fire at the Contrescarpe

It is impossible to evoke the history of France, without speaking of a universal heroine, an essential mythical figure of the Hundred Years’ War whose name has made legend and inspired many authors. Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans has fueled many rumors, many jealousies and fervors and many plots.

It is this rebellious heroine, this troublesome conqueror, this mysterious saint who heard voices that we find again. The warlord is transposed to our time in a parallel between her history and those who went into battle standing up in the name of human rights and freedom. The portrait of a woman apart from the courage shown by Don Quixote to Che Guevara, Martin Luther King and the young Chinese man who faced the tanks in Tien an Men Square in Beijing; all intergenerational spokespersons for the same path: that of injustice.
