A mystical composition, originally written as a song for alto and guitar. It attempts to reach the spiritual and to go beyond the sexual, the transsexual and the physical... It is inspired by the story of the desert hermit Saint Anthony (ca.250-350), who made commentaries on the dual nature of man: shadow - light, male - female, saint - demon. The text of the original song was originally written by Claude Louis Combet for the film "Les Tribulations de Saint Antoine", translated into English, is sung from the point of view of the saint: I sought only to meet myself I bade myself welcome there in that part of me which thus far my consciousness could not penetrate the man that I was laid naked the woman that I was. Turn as I might in ev'ry worldly direction the night traced all the while the arc of its circle I was one and the same body one and the same body now. Man enamoured of himself in his femininity woman enamoured of herself in her virility I had absolutely no need to imagine a woman at my side any more than I needed to evoke the landscape of the outside world to feel myself rooted within it. The realms of nature may intermingle and recombine the hybrids thereof seek a soul and a name The great madness thereof affects me no longer which is the name of my God and of my love I have found my heart's place this place that I thought I had lost and that I had never quitted I keep myself together in the cloistered garden of one word, which is the name of my God and of my loveall the rest is a mirage.
