PERFORMANDO NA BORDA DA CORPA-GUERRA: UMA SÉRIE-DOCUMENTAL SOBRE OS CONTRAPONTOS NA FERIDA DO TRAUMA

Abstract

The research begins in Mexico (2017) with the compilation of 32 plastic works with their corresponding testimonies made by 32 artists (one for each state of the Mexican Republic), the research was based on six of those performers: Alberto Cerz, Azucena Verdín, Daniela Bustamante, Dano Ramírez, Danya Torres and Raquel Arriojeda, who expressed how on a daily basis they are oppressed, silenced and immobilized both by the drug war and by sexual terrorism. In body exploration laboratories, the trigger for movement were those 32 images, and based on authentic movement, neutral mask exercises, cartographies, poems, dances and music, were produced performances, photographs, designs and video-dances, these are the basis of the investigation with the aim of performing on the edge of counterpoint: body-war. The research analyzes the trauma, caused by oppression and violence, making use of movement to mobilize the memories of pain, which inhabit the silence of the wound. The Abordagem somático-performativo by Ciane Fernandes was considered, which implies the intertwining of artistic practice with theoretical research. The theoretical contribution is based on concepts such as Trauma by Peter Levine and Raquel Pastor, Iconographies of terror and Memento mori by Ileana Diéguez, Corporeality by Michel Bernard, Poetry by Audre Lorde Performance by Diana Taylor and Fernando Villar, War by Fernández-Montesinos, and Net of Life by Lorena Cabnal.
