ALT "Joan of Arc Ascending" opens at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival on July 17th. “Joan of Arc is easily and by far the most extraordinary person the human race has ever produced.” Mark Twain With Joan of Arc, we’re looking at an adolescent girl with no education who could not read or write, no military training, who through sheer force of will, strengthened by some kind of magical otherworldly visitations, gained control of the armies of France, defeated the English in multiple battles and brought the rightful king of France to be coronated, and did it through a series of miraculous events that absolutely defy belief. This is the stuff of Hollywood superhero fantasies. And yet it happened. How do we explain her incredible life? Find out at "Joan of Arc Ascending."
