Abstract

Afin d’élargir le champ des performance studies, cet article montre que la cartomancie est une performance narrative participative, permettant d’explorer la mise en scène des objets. Les premiers traités (1770-1850) décrivent des méthodes aidant l’improvisation du performer et l’implication du spectateur. Transformé en « objet chargé » (singulier, évocateur, obscur et participatif), le jeu de cartes devient un moteur de narration et un medium entre performer et spectateur, réalité et fiction.
