Gilles Jobin

The performance was also presented at Festival Montpellier Danse in 1999 and Jobin was subsequently recognised for the radical nature of his work, acting as a "leader for a new generation of independent Swiss choreographers".

In 2001 Jobin produced a major performance in his repertoire, the quintet The Moebius Strip, based on perpetual motion, which enabled him to radicalise his work on horizontality.

Unlike his previous works which developed underlying themes of sex, nudity, violence and war, this performance is based on nothing but lines and geometry – echoing the compositions of his father which fluctuate between geometric rigour and the intense vibration of juxtaposed colours.

The following year, the choreographer became associate artist at Bonlieu Scène Nationale in Annecy and produced Double Deux (2006), Text to Speech (2008), a performance which points to his growing interest in new technologies, and Black Swan (2009).

In 2013, following his residency, he produced QUANTUM within the context of the CMS experiment, in association with German visual artist Julius von Bismarck (winner of the Ars Electronica Prize), American composer Carla Scaletti and Belgian fashion designer Jean-Paul Lespagnard.

In 2015 Jobin produced the duo FORÇA FORTE inspired by the laws of quantum physics, with his troupe's iconic dancer Susana Panadés Diaz.

In 2020, Compagnie Gilles Jobin creates Dance Trail, a piece in augmented reality at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, then La Comédie Virtuelle - Live Show, a multiuser VR show in real time selected in official competition at the 77th Venice International Film Festival and which won the Numix 2021 award in the International - Interactive XR Experience category from the XR Quebec industry.
