Perfume is the story of a murder by a criminal mastermind set in eighteenth century Paris, Joan of Arc is the victim of a murder by the state (England and Burgundy) set in fifteenth century Rouen.
Fashion by Dad recounts elements of both tales using visceral texts and music that explore the relationship between the stench of humanity, cruelty and our sense of the ideal. Cohen’s love song between Joan and the fire resonates with a crisp intensity in this context.
