4.-18.12.2021, Turku I

Jeanne de Clisson tells the story of a 14th-century pirate. After the unjust execution of her husband, she sets off on a 13-year retaliation voyage against the King of France.

During her rampage she kills all the French noblemen that sailed on her course with her own axe. Does she drown in her own vengeance, or does she sail the floods of blood she sheds?

The performance tears down the myth of non-violent women. It uses traditional paper theatre and automata as techniques.

*The term Automata derives from Greek word αὐτόματα, meaning self-operating. Automata is an abstract machine that automatically follows a predetermined sequence of operations.
