Résumé
From two testimonies given in the first person, I question the emergence of trance in dancing improvisations. To make this phenomenon intelligible, I make three suggestions or hypotheses. The first is that Western metaphysics, which is based on classical scientific thought, is unable to understand the complexity of the phenomenon. The second is that other spiritualties, which did not separate humans from their environment to enlighten the world and their place in it, have developed basic clinical knowledge on trances. The third is that the mental revolution of modern science, including the ecological approach, is the most promising avenue for understanding the phenomenon.
