Marcel Proust’s A la Recherche du Temps Perdu, one of the most profoundly visual works in Western literature, houses a vast repository of paintings. How does the novelist, in his frequent reference to both famous and obscure works of art, manage to evoke emotion, character, history? How do the verbal and the visual interact and illuminate one another?

Inner Landscapes is a performance practice developed by Assistant Professor of Dance Laurel Jenkins and Nives Sertic, a projection artist based in Croatia. Middlebury College’s New Directions Spring Arts Festival will present the second iteration of this work which began when Sertic and Jenkins met as artists-in-residence last year at Cite des International Arts in Paris, France. This intimate work submerges the body in worlds of color. Original sound is played live by Matthew Evan Taylor and costumes are by Mac Melrose.

Shows at 2:30pm and 6:30pm.
