In this episode of Chiara Centoni’s Psicompompo podcast, Grace Hall—actress, director, producer, and founder of Il Tempio del Burlesque—takes us into the space where art, esotericism, and personal transformation intertwine.
Drawing from her own journey, Grace explores burlesque not only as a stage language, but also as a practice of awareness: an “alchemical” process that can guide those who experience it toward a deeper understanding of themselves.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- A reflection on women and the right hemisphere of the “world’s brain,” and on contemporary alchemists who embody this archetype—from David Bowie to other visionary artists.
- Where Grace’s artistic and spiritual exploration begins.
- What esotericism is (and why it still speaks to us today).
- Burlesque as a path of transformation: using art to evolve and rewrite your own story.
- James Hillman’s thought and the concept of the “soul’s code”: the idea that each of us carries a unique destiny to fulfill.
- An experiment guided by Chiara: isolating a part of the body to reconnect with listening, presence, and grounding.
