Two years after Jeannette, l´enfance de Jeanne d'Arc, Dumont continues his portrayal of the French historical heroine by adapting the last two sections of ”Domrémy”, a play by Charles Péguy. Set to music by the French singer Christophe, JEANNE portrays the stubbornness of the young woman who rose up to lead the French army, to fulfil the mission she declared she was chosen for: to deliver her country from English occupation.
