Vitals is a feminist organisation and has a proud and continuing tradition of supporting women artists.Seeing the creative process of artists, and participating in experimentation and social investigation, is the hallmark of Vitalstatistix. Our heritage-listed home the Waterside Workers Hall and location in Port Adelaide is sublimely suited to this endeavour, and it is a unique offer that the organisation makes to both artists and audiences of art.Vitalstatistix aims to be a vibrant home on the Port River for Australian artists who are experimenting with and changing the world.

JOAN Presented by THE RABBLE and Vitalstatistix
Waterside Workers Hall,  11 Nile Street, Port Adelaide 5015. Tuesday 17 to Sunday 22 July - 8pm (Sunday 6pm)
Joan raises her hand to the sky.
It bursts into flames. Everywhere there are women burning. White ash falls.
A miraculous historical figure, Joan of Arc is a teenage girl, a virgin solider, illiterate and poor, predestined for sacrifice. Her body is the vessel for a nation’s anxieties – and for six centuries, an effigy of gendered violence.
THE RABBLE’s radical homage to Joan of Arc is an extraordinary, prescient and surreal performance.
For over a decade, feminist theatre mavericks THE RABBLE have reimagined and repopulated familiar stories. Don’t miss their first presentation in South Australia, in the midwinter ambience of Vitalstatistix’s home in Port Adelaide.
"No one else in Australia is making theatre like this." - Alison Croggon, ABC Arts
Vitalstatistix’s presentation of JOAN is part of a multi-year partnership with THE RABBLE.
