O sul corpóreo: práticas teatrais interculturais para a descolonização do imaginário

Abstract

The corporal south is a metaphor that seeks to think the epistemologies of the south as a point of convergence with the theatrical practice. Being de practice a compass in this investigation, it was sought to embody this metaphor from the creation of two practices: a corporal practice that takes concepts from the epistemologies of the south to the practice and embraces de proposal of interculturality to dynamize principles of the ritual dance of the capoeira and the ritual dance of the Mayan worldview, two philosophies of the south. The second practice, related to an aesthetic experience, is the spectacle Amareelos, created from the symbolic universe of Quetzalcoatl – Kukulkán, mythical Mesoamerican figure. We represent the empirical character as a methodological guideline of this investigation through a mandala, showing the dynamics that surrounds this process "to the south" in its theoretical-practical textures.
