Gilles Gobeil

Entre les deux rives du printemps has been performed in Berlin, Birmingham, Cologne, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Huddersfield, Karlsruhe, Leicester, Manchester, Montréal, Paris and Weimar…

Freely adapted from Paradise (Part 3 of The Divine Comedy) by Dante (1265-1321). A poem filled with speed, energy, and pure light, but also bearing a few reminiscences of earthly mistakes.

Paradise, XXX-58:

“And I with vision new rekindled me,
Such that no light whatever is so pure
But that mine eyes were fortified against it.

And light I saw in fashion of a river
Fulvid with its effulgence, ’twixt two banks
Depicted with an admirable Spring.”

— Gilles Gobeil [English translation: François Couture, xi-07]

Entre les deux rives du printemps [Between the Two Banks of Spring] was realized in 2006 at the studios of the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe (ZKM) in Germany.
