Joan of Arc with Live Score
Advertisement
Experience Dreyer’s 1928 silent masterpiece The Passion of Joan of Arc like never before, reimagined with a punishing live metal score by The Silent Light. This cinematic rite of judgement and transcendence will be performed one night only live at Screenland Armour on August 26th, 2026.
Spiritual rapture and institutional hypocrisy come to stark, vivid life in one of the most transcendent masterpieces of the silent era. Chronicling the trial of Joan of Arc in the hours leading up to her execution, Danish master Carl Theodor Dreyer depicts her torment with startling immediacy, employing an array of techniques—expressionistic lighting, interconnected sets, painfully intimate close-ups—to immerse viewers in her subjective experience. Anchoring Dreyer’s audacious formal experimentation is a legendary performance by Renée Falconetti, whose haunted face channels both the agony and the ecstasy of martyrdom.
