Made for Nationaltheater Mannheim’s 2021 Schillertage Festival, Made of Mannheim is a retelling of Schiller’s, Jungfrau von Orleans; his telling of the story of Joan of Arc.
Co-produced with Nationaltheater Mannheim and Theaterhaus G7, this show reimagins a Joan of Arc that speaks to modern Mannheim, one of Germany’s most linguistically and ethnically diverse cities.
Written in English before it was translated into German and Turkish, this multi-lingual production was co-written and co-directed by Javaad Alipoor and Chris Thorpe. It played live, and socially distanced through the pandemic, and was also broadcast digitally and internationally.
