D’Arc, woman on fire
Presented by Footloose at Shotwell Studios in San Francisco:

Written & Performed by Amanda Moody
Music Composed by Jay Cloidt
Direction and Dramaturgy by Melissa Weaver
Cello Performed by Elaine Kreston
Produced by Mary Alice Fry and Agapé Performance Group
Shotwell Studio is located at 3252-A 19th Street in San Francisco
at the corner of Shotwell (between South Van Ness and Folsom)
D’Arc offers a surreal inquiry into the costs of dreams, lived and unlived. Weaving the threads of the Dark Ages with our own dark times, “D’Arc” depicts a present-day intercession by Saint Joan of Arc.
We meet Joanne. Home alone, she fixates on letters from her daughter who vanished while working abroad in a war-torn region. Raging against loss, Joanne receives bizarre visions through the cold flame of her television set. It is Saint Joan burning through the TV twilight to answer her grief. Relating tales of her own battles and trials, Joan teases and admonishes Joanne, disrupts her obsessions, and challenges her to listen anew to the call of her own life.
