#jeanne represents a world on the verge of collapse and distinction. It also represents our need for heroes who would lead the way out from the disastrous post-human condition we have created with our greediness, selfishness, and lack of any ideological direction or belief. We kill our heroes before we idealize them and turn them into poems or pixels on the Internet. We conscientiously sacrifice our children by conceptualizing them and turning them into profit as they are trying to save us from ourselves.
Riksteatern commissioned Ivana Sajko, one of the most established European contemporary playwrights to write this play for the purposes of this production.
