Descrição
The expansion of what can be considered as a scene, show or performance is a major contribution of Ethnoscenology and Performance Studies to the field of the Performing Arts, breaking borders that are based on the colonialism of knowledge, which radically separated art from grassroots culture, putting creation and tradition in different poles. This shift of paradigm opens the possibility of thinking the body dramaturgy of the African-Brazilian rituals as a construct of the relationship between body and ancestry. It is in this perspective that this paper presents a discussion on the black performance of batuque, more specifically the Suça, from Natividade (TO/Brazil).||Une importante contribution de l’ethnocenologie et des études de la performance dans le domaine de l’art de la scène est l’expansion de ce qui put être considère comme la scène ou comme le spectacle, en brisant les frontières, fondées sur le colonialisme du savoir, qui ont séparé radicalement l’art de la culture populaire, en polarisant la création et la tradition. Cette rupture de paradigme ouvre la possibilité de penser les dramaturgies corporelles présentes dans les rituels african-brésiliens comme une construction de la relation entre le corps et l’ancestralité. C’est dans cette perspective que cet article présente une discussion sur la performance african-brésilienne des batuques, plus précisément la Suça, de la ville de Natividade, située dans l’état du Tocantins, au Brésil.||The expansion of what can be considered as a scene, show or performance is a major contribution of Ethnoscenology and Performance Studies to the field of the Performing Arts, breaking borders that are based on the colonialism of knowledge, which radically separated art from grassroots culture, putting creation and tradition in different poles.
