"Every story has a hero and a villain. In your story, you are both.", - C. Jung.
"ŽANA" is a physical theater play with an intense plot that explores the state of a person stuck between two options: to take responsibility for their actions and beliefs or to abandon them.
This performance is a synthesis between classical text and physical theater genres. The psychological portrait of a young girl, memories and internal conflict are conveyed using the genre of physical theater, where the text is used as a fragment, and the show itself is more like a performance, where the audience becomes witnesses rather than passive observers.
The original script of the play was created based on fragments from the play "Vyturys" (J. Anouilh) and selected archival material from the trial of Joan of Arc.
This performance is part of the Young Producers Education Program "PRODIUSAI COLAB" run by the Kaunas City Chamber Theater together with "Kaunas 2022" and is the winner of the 2021 "Starting point" youth theater festival.
