São Paulo rope artist, teacher and performer who began shibari in 2019, is an artist in residence at Shibari House Brasil and produced the first edition of the Nakama Nawa art-and-shibari exhibition with Mariana Rodeso.
Leviriet is a rope artist, teacher and performer in São Paulo and an artist in residence at Shibari House Brasil. The studio’s team page introduces her as a researcher of the body and of art and calls her a reference point for shibari teaching and performance.
Background
According to her profile on the Shibari House Brasil site, she began practicing shibari in 2019, as a rigger, as a model and in self-tying. She graduated in 2018 from the Escola dos Doutores da Alegria, where she studied masks, musicality, acrobatics, stage play and clowning, and she also studies aerial disciplines such as lyra and pole. The profile links her performances to that artistic training: she uses shibari, it says, as a tool that can alter reality and states of being and open new narratives on stage.
Rope work
When tying, the profile says, she prefers aibunawa and semi-suspensions, techniques that keep her physically close to the person in the rope and let her perceive and guide their reactions. In performance she likes to work with full suspension, building challenging shapes and fluid transitions. During the pandemic she published the YouTube channel Lass Leviriet. Her channel description calls it a learning diary and a public study group, made by a beginning rigger for other beginners; she considers the channel complete and does not plan further uploads.
Teaching, organizing and performance
The studio’s booking page lists her as rigger, performer and mentor, and her profile offers individual sessions. The profile adds that she organizes Atados ABC and took part in the documentary project Shibari no Brasil (2022). Together with Mari Rodeso she produced the first edition of Nakama Nawa, a collaborative exhibition that brings shibari together with other artistic languages; she was again among the artists listed for its third edition at Matilha Cultural in September 2026.
As a performer she has appeared at São Paulo venues and events including Love Cabaret, Lovenoxx, Shibari Party and Libertina, and she has worked on audiovisual projects with the band Teto Preto.
