The artist as a medium. The body as a territory of spiritual revelation. Performance as a ritualistic experience of access to other states of consciousness. Mariana Tengner Barros, in her experience as a dancer/performer and choreographer, discovered herself as “a kind of mediator of messages through her own body, voice, her interpreters, messages associated with ideas, sensations, emotions”. Increasingly aware of the magnitude of this role, she is interested in recovering the mediumistic side of his practice. Without wanting to put labels, the artist conceives “Séance”, a performance that starts from the principles of the seance, or séance. In this research, she discovers the theatricality implicit in the device, which allows access to different degrees of “interpretation”, of manifestation of the trance.
