‘Myths and Legends’ opens with The Passion of Joan of Arc 1928, one of the most celebrated and daring films of the silent era. Presented with a new live scoring by the Brisbane band hazards of swimming naked, this cinematic masterpiece depicts the famed trial of the heroine Joan of Arc in 1431. Featuring a sublime performance by Falconetti, The Passion of Joan of Arc is a beautiful and radical depiction of the treason trial of this legendary figure in French history.

Silent film with live music accompaniment.

Hazards of swimming naked are a five piece instrumental post-rock group originating from North Queensland. Drawing on the humidity and vibrancy of that region for their diverse instrumental sound, ‘hazards’ return to QAGOMA after a sold out accompaniment of Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror 1922 in the 2013 season ‘Monsters’.
