Dança desabafo: uma poética da sobrevivência

Abstract

The doctoral research entitled Desabafo Dance: a poetry of survivor is a theoretical-practical investigation, and its main compass is the artist from Ceará, Sílvia Moura. Her way of creating scenic interventions and the disorganization that it causes in certain structures (of the body, thought, education, dance, theater, the scene, political-environmental and socio-cultural relations) are the basic devices that stimulated these studies. The Desabafo Dance touches the therapeutic sphere insofar as it is performed with the purpose of talking about what bothers. Its creation takes place through the exercise of "untying the knots in the throat", which can lead to the reactivation of what Suely Rolnik calls the "vibrating body", a type of energy that animates us, but which in some cases is found anesthetized. AREIA is a photo-dance, a choreograph of my outburst danced throughout the research process. Its parts are presented as suspensions between one reflection and another in the assembly of these writings. Stitched together by personal accounts of the experience of anguish neurosis (panic syndrome), the thesis was directly affected by a specific socio-environmental-political moment: a viral pandemic and the assault of the extreme right in Brazil (and in other parts of the world); two collective traumas that are difficult to treat. Dança Desabafo is an intense flow between the personal and the collective, a call to move on, despite everything.
