LA PUCELLE By Adam O'Connell to be Presented at Fresh Fruit Festival 2024

"To surrender who you are and live without belief is much more terrible than dying." The Wallpaper Company, in association with All Out Arts, presents La Pucelle, a new play by Adam O'Connell as part of the 2024 Fresh Fruit Festival. La Pucelle is a folk retelling of the final days of Joan of Arc's life told through a uniquely trans and queer lens. As a child soldier approaches her inevitable execution, will her three sacred angels accept her for who she is before it's too late? And if you're going to be martyred anyway, does it really matter what you die for, and whose clothes you wear when it happens?

La Pucelle will be presented at Wild Project as a part of All Out Arts' 2024 Fresh Fruit Festival. It will be performed on April 29 at 6:30, April 30 at 8:30, and May 4 at 5:00. Tickets and more festival information can be found at https://freshfruitfestival.com/

The cast features Mikah Mazza, Rich Evans, Nik Danger, Eli Wassertzug, and Nancy Wang. Written and directed by Adam O'Connell. Technical Direction by Federico Mostert. Costumes by Elsa Bean.
