About first Issue

ISSUE #1 - TRANCE > Transïre. Traverse. Go across. Go over. Pass over. A state of trance evokes a critical and decisive moment, a state of sensory suspension, a psychological mechanism in which the person abandons themselves to certain conditions, external or internal, and experiences a different state of consciousness. During this disorder there may be alterations in reasoning, behaviour or in the ability to recognise reality and adapt to it.
