Created at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the project aims to trace the relations between institutional internment (asylums, prisons, hospice, etc.) and the isolation imposed by tragic situations such as plagues wars and dictatorships.
The accent is put on the research of personal trajectories marked by the experience by the experience of confinement. In shared isolation due to the epidemic of Covid-19, Danielle and Ivan started working with the production of several videos, short films and virtual plays (available on youtube.com/projectotrajetorias). In these works, the duo continues the study on mental health that Danielle has been conducting for the past five years.
In 2017, the actress designed the stage experience “Lieu de Tête
Lieu de Corps” based on real-life testimonies of people who have lived the experience of the asylum. The project was carried out until 2019 at Espaço Travessia – an art and culture center located at the Psychiatric Institute Nise Institute of Psychiatry (Rio de Janeiro) – presented to users and employees of mental health services and visitors.
