BLIND SEER

Inspired by the transitory construction of space in religious rituals—particularly Haitian voodoo—this first chapter of an ongoing research explores how an invisible ritual panorama unfolds through movement and action.

Blending music, dance, and visual theater, the performance immerses the audience in a mystical landscape where the intangible becomes tangible.

BLIND SEER is part of the Collection Covered by Sky, a series of interactive installations and performances that investigate the relationship between landscape and art, experience and poetic discourse. The project draws on the spatial poetics developed by a selected group of Portuguese and South American artists.

The work is inspired by a dialogue with Portuguese artist Jonathan Ulliel Saldanha and his spatial experiences with the voodoo rituals in Haiti.

BLIND SEER has received the support of Fundação GDA (Apoio à Circulação de Espetáculos 2025)
