Canudos ao olhar de um canudense: ressignificando memórias e território através da performance autobiográfica

Abstract

This article aims to problematize autobiographical performance as an artistic practice that promotes resistance, plurality and difference, discussing the concept of performance in its historical, anthropological and artistic aspects. as well as the autobiographical performance, which enables the rescue of personal experiences, collective memories and, in the excerpt pointed out here, the exercise of the autobiographical performance. It addresses aspects of the Canudos War Revolution and analyzes autobiographical performances, being fostered in the natural environment of the memories of the performance and other territories that are not necessarily the natural environment experienced by it. Finally, it evaluates the path evoked by the performance as viable for the establishment of strategies of resistance and sensitization through the artistic experience shared between performer and spectators. In addition, it points to performance as an alternative to instigate critical thinking, freedom and the creation of possibilities for transformations in the personal and collective spheres, through actions that address identity themes that reflect the struggles of social movements, such as the movement LGBTQI+, black, gypsy and so many other forms of marginalized society in Brazil.
