Nota
The Left Hand of Glenn Gould

The title The Left Hand of Glenn Gould alludes mainly to the separation between sight and sound. This performance uses theatrical techniques to investigate an area that is not covered by traditional theatre, exploring a dimension that is familiar yet difficult to define: the human face.
"The cinematic close-up treats a face like a landscape; it can be defined in terms of a black space and a white wall, a screen and a movie camera... But the other arts, such as architecture, painting and even the novel are also brought alive by the close-up, which reveals all the possible correlations. Is your mother therefore a landscape or a face? A face or a factory?" (Deleuze/Guattari)
The project does not answer these questions, but invites the spectator to participate in a similar kind of research.
Music, dance, performance, video, live electronic sounds, and texts by Edgar Allan Poe, Franz Kafka, Thomas Mann and Marcel Proust were all elaborated during a workshop lasting several weeks, which produced an experimental theatrical sequence.
The Left Hand of Glenn Gould is a theatrical project created by the students at the Institute of Theatrical Applied Arts at the Justus Liebig Universität of Giessen in Germany, under the supervision of the composer and director Prof. Heiner Goebbels, with the collaboration of scholarship students from the Laboratorio Multimediale Fabrica in Treviso: video artists, designers, musicians and sound artists in the class taught by the Italian composer Andrea Molino.
