Milton’s Sympathy 4 Galileo: Performed at Soul Noir: Festival of the Dark Arts, 2020 curated by  Sinead Keogh. This marked a return to my interest in Galileo. In 1638 John Milton met Galileo while he was under house arrest. Years later in writing Paradise  Lost Milton makes reference to Galileo and in a lengthy monologue from the angel Raphael  to Adam expounds on the philosophical/astronomical propositions of the time. During the performance I recite this monologue pertaining to the debate between church and science. Photography is by Jordan Hutchings and www.alexartweddings.com.
