DESCRIPTION:This is a true story from the 15th century. In the period spann
 ing from May 1430 to May 1431\, Joan of Arc\, a figure of both renown and 
 controversy\, was held in prison as she awaited her execution. A year that
  Friedrich Schiller deliberately omitted his play «The Maid of Orleans»\, 
 which premiered in 1801.\n\nThis gap in the theatrical canon has inspired 
 director Marie Schleef to trace the fate of women condemned to death\, the
 reby linking Joan of Arc to the present day. What if Joan were alive today
 ? How many years\, or even decades\, would she have to spend on death row?
  How would the endless wait on the threshold between life and death affect
  her? And how would she react once she found out that her last day was app
 roaching?\n\nThe death penalty is still legal in 55 countries worldwide. A
 ccording to Amnesty International\, 1\,518 people were officially executed
  in 2024 alone. The number of women who are sentenced to death is steadily
  increasing. However\, most of these cases take place out of the public ey
 e. ARE YOU READY TO DIE? addresses this global blank space by translating 
 the strictly regimented and isolated daily routine on death row and the ri
 tualised path to execution into a visually powerful theatrical composition
  in slow motion and without spoken words.\n\nMarie Schleef’s directorial w
 ork brings to the stage in a formally innovative way what often remains in
  the dark. Her work\, characterised by a feminist lens\, examines the worl
 d through a magnifying glass\, thereby creating new theatrical narrative f
 orms. She and her team are inviting the audience to step into a closed cos
 mos\, where they can viscerally experience and share the sensation of limi
 nal existence – the constant state of limbo in a death cell.\n\nIn collabo
 ration with Amnesty International Switzerland
