Ensaio sobre serpentes: uma poética cênica para desfazer políticas de morte

Abstract

In this essay, I reflect on the stages of a creative process in which the mask, the cyborg and the chimera are figurations of a mythical serpent that lead me to a poetics  triggered by childhood memories, ancestry, theoretical studies, experiences of estrangement, departure and return, encounters and losses. In dialogue with theorists such as Deleuze & Guattari (1973, 1980), Foucault (1994, 2008), Butler (2006, 2009), Butler & Spivak (2007), Spivak (1998), Haraway (1991), Preciado (2013), Mbembe (2018), Lugones (2018), Trigo (2005), I interrogate the theater from other fields, to raise questions about a woman's body that resists discipline, subverts and points to other poetic, performative and political possibilities.
