The Passion Project

Direct from New York, Pacific Theatre is proud to present this extraordinary performance piece by video artist Reid Farrington. The electrifying work compresses the entirety of Carl Theodor Dreyer’s classic silent film The Passion Of Joan Of Arc into a 30-minute concentration of movement, projection, installation and sound collage. In a 10X10 square of light a solitary woman executes a rigorous movement score, interacting with flickering images of the extraordinary Maria Falconetti as the warrior saint of Orleans. Mesmerizing, meticulous, transformative.
