D'Arc, woman on fire

The award-winning team that brought you "Serial Murderess" strikes again with their new music theater work, "D'Arc, woman on fire." Footloose presents writer, actress and singer, Amanda Moody, in her original, one-woman show directed by Melissa Weaver with music by Jay Cloidt recorded as the soundtrack and played live by cellist, Elaine Kreston. 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 St. Joan of Arc. 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 her t.v. set. It is St. Joan burning through the TV twilight to answer her grief. Relating tales of her own battles and trials, Joan teases and admonishes Joanne, foils her obsessions and challenges her to listen anew to the call of her own life.
