Songwriter Ali Dineen and Brooklyn-based puppet troupe Boxcutter Collective join forces to present The Loneliness of Either, Or: A Requiem for Joan of Arc, a performance that weaves together personal histories, our present political moment, and the story of Joan of Arc.

Part concert and part mass, this evening of song and pageantry will explore the story of Joan of Arc, the 19 year old woman who was burned at the stake in 1431 for refusing to wear women’s clothing. Twenty years later, Joan was declared a martyr, and almost 500 years later she was canonized by the same Catholic Church that convicted her and sentenced her to death.

The Loneliness of Either, Or: A Requiem for Joan of Arc examines the lesser known nuances of Joan’s story, delving into her relationship to gender, prophecy, and faith. Using giant puppets, pageantry, and original music for piano and choir, this show asks the question: where do we find hope and faith in a world full of contradictions and false prophets? Drawing upon the works of scholars such as Sylvia Federici and Leslie Feinberg, as well as the songwriter’s own history, this Requiem looks to understand where we turn when our heroes, myths and gods betray us, and what we can learn from the the in-between places in our lives.

From out of nothing, an ancient god’s divine laughter creates the universe, then promptly abandons the scene. Ruled over by flimsy paper authorities, the newly created masses attempt to escape the darkness of the suffering valley with help from The Divinity Supply Company. But can The Divinity Supply Company produce the exact god for the exact dilemma, as they advertise? Or will the suffering valley be stuck in the Dilemma-Of-The-Pleading-Now as they stumble towards a There-Is-No-End-In-Sight Conclusion? Also featuring: clouds, Santa Claus, an Idiot Manifesto, a brass band, and a 100 watt lightbulb. The Divinity Supply Company is a new puppet show collaboration between Peter Schumann of the Bread and Puppet Theater and Boxcutter Collective.

"The Boxcutter Collective is NYC’s Punk Rock branch of world famous Bread and Puppet Theater. They’re always smart, super talented, and as tight as a four piece garage band...They are Anarchist Art Puppeteers and you should give them all your money.”

-Dick Zigun, Mayor and Founder of Coney Island USA
