"PAREM DE NOS MATAR": A PERFORMANCE COMO CONSTRUTO AFIRMATIVO DE CORPOS DIFERENCIADOS

Abstract

The present work discusses the part of my student trajectory in the Theater Degree Course, from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). The questions that feed this text have been going through me since the beginning of my identity construction, they come from me, however, they are not only related to me, they go to other existences that, like mine, are against the normalization of bodies in social life and in the arts. Through the description and critical analysis of the performance Parem de Nos Matar!, I seek to reflect the condition that marks the existence of LGBTQIA + people. In the perspective of a critical-reflective distance, this research treats these people in an analogous way to the “butterflies”. It is believed that by constructing a parable about the tragedy that befalls these lives, it is possible to bring a part of society closer to LGBTQIA + people, by cutting out the abject bodies. The research methodology used here is fundamental to an epistemological approach with the “Case Study” (FONSECA, 2020). The fundamental considerations are spread over a specified range of references, focusing, with regard to “Poetic Processes”, in the field of autobiographical studies, as pointed out by studies by RANGEL (2006) and GONÇALVES (2017).
