| Abstract | |
Beginning with a performative writing, this research unveils the braid made from two aesthetic performances: A Batalha das Heroínas (The Battle of the Heroines) and Guerreiras (Warriors). A Batalha das Heroínas (The Battle of the Heroines) performed since 1993 by the women of Tejucupapo, situated in northern Pernambuco, Brazil. The performance restores the XVII century historical episode when for the first time an armed group of women took part in the battles during the Dutch occupation in north-eastern Brazil. The second performance called Guerreiras (Warriors) premiered in 2009 and is a result of the interactions between a group of artists leaded by the researcher and the community of Tejucupapo in an experience called Artethnography. This artethnographic network of artists and community members intended to achieve an understanding of questions involving the personification of the ancestor heroines by the present Tejucupapo women. This personification reveals a state of f(r)iction between the performers and their masks, dialectically opposed to the fiction (modeled), fomenting the concept of the ritual mask of the self and making possible a complex of pedagogical procedures related to scenic creation, the Mythodology in Drama. From the crossing of the ritual masks in Guerreiras and Heroínas, from Artethnography to the Mythodology in Drama, we reaffirm the close relationship between the Arts and the fields of Anthropology of Performance and Imaginary (AU) | |
