The play directed by the People's Artist of Russia, Semyon Spivak, is a nominee for the highest theatrical award in St. Petersburg, the "Golden Sofit." The play by the famous French playwright is presented to the public in a new universal light by the current artistic director of the Fontanka Theater, and former chief director of the Moscow State Theater named after K.S. Stanislavsky, Semyon Spivak. Thus, the story of a girl from Domrémy, who was executed by order of the Vatican for her willingness to sacrifice her life for Jesus and the independence of her native France, takes on truly cosmic proportions in Spivak's directorial hands. The audience is presented with the story of a hero as an artist, ready to fight for the creation of his own ideal world. The profound philosophy of the playwright Jean Anouilh is elegantly spiced with passionate drama, while the tragedy is skillfully and unexpectedly blended with farce, making the production, which narrates events of the distant past, surprisingly close and uplifting for the modern viewer.
