The Project
A docu-fiction series unfolding across three connected spaces.
Overview
Marie de Caba is a docu-fiction project that restores the voice of a real woman through contemporary narrative and artificial intelligence.
Marie de Caba was a Barcelona medium who lived in the early 20th century and died more than fifty years ago. For decades, her story remained largely private. This project asks what happens when that voice is heard again, now.
The Format
Marie de Caba unfolds across three connected spaces:
The Series
A sequence of interviews with Marie de Caba. Each episode focuses on a theme, combining personal testimony, spiritual perspective, and historical context.
La Sala de Marie
The Waiting Room. A permanent live space where time passes, the ritual continues, and the project’s atmosphere remains present.
Val’s Notebooks
Field notes by Val Ferren, the project’s interviewer and investigator: reflections, doubts, research, and questions shaped by what the audience brings to the experience.
Origin
The figure of Marie de Caba emerges from a real family archive connected to the creator’s wife. Documents, oral memory, and private traces became the starting point for an investigation that blends historical research with narrative reconstruction.
This intimate origin doesn’t limit the story. It explains its necessity.
Memory and silence
Spirituality beyond religion
Private archives and unofficial history
Presence, absence, and waiting
Technology as narrative language
Past and present in dialogue
Themes
Technology and creative language
Marie de Caba is developed with artificial intelligence as a central part of its creative process.
AI is not used as a visual trick or a technical demonstration, but as narrative language, enabling the reconstruction of interviews, spaces, and presences that no longer exist. The technology remains in service of story, research, and memory.
