	Life and mission of Jeanne D' Arc inspire the creation. The performance itself addresses the relation of individual's mission and identity. 'How our identity defines our mission and how our mission defines our identity?' Questions 'Who am I?' and 'What am I to do?' trigger the working process. The answers are unlike, even disparate. 4 women and 1 man relate to such an archetype confessing their personal status, mission, ideals and revealing diverse answers that lead to further queries.
'What does it mean to perform a mission nowadays? Are we ready to sacrifice commodities offered by the late capitalism? Can anyone be radical? To what sort of things can we get devoted? If the society is ideologically promiscuous, do we have to be as well? Do we still have ideals?
In its final result the performance is realized as a 60-minute collection of 5 brief solos performed serially by diverse individuals. By the way of confronting us with an archetype of a determined exceptional woman like Jeanne D' Arc, the work is about the conflict of knowledge and intuition within a person, about the power of intuition and the concepts that we make for ourselves.
