FIELD NOTES ON INTERNAL LIGHTNESS AND THE REJECTION OF ISOLATION
Fabienne Haustant—a visionary dancer navigating a visual handicap—founded “Dance with Closed Eyes” to dismantle the barriers of perception. Our Lab documented her method: using a headband to blindfold the self, which, paradoxically, multiplies sensation and allows the subject to rediscover lost internal emotions. This is more than a therapeutic approach; it is a strategic way to find harmony through the “emotional translation” of the body.
Fabienne’s data is rooted in a radical optimism. She formally refused the postures of victimization and isolation, choosing instead a trajectory of self-fulfillment. Carrying the Olympic flame was her terminal message of Peace and Friendship to the world—a moment where the external light of the torch matched her internal drive. She admits to a “certain madness”—a relentless momentum that refuses to stop. This case serves as a record of “sharing” as a life-sustaining mission: proving that when the eyes close, the soul truly begins to move.
