Caminhante brujo: corpos e tecnoviagens do artista-xamã

Abstract

This research maps the emergence of singular corporeities in a hybrid context crossed by experiments in Latin American performing arts and performances, as well as shamanic experiences from central and southern America. Based on selected reports of an eight-year trajectory as a performer-researcher, this research seeks to reflect on the decolonial being-doing and art as deterritorializing action, questioning the dominant paradigms of contemporary ways of living. Taking as the guiding axis of this research, knowledge-obtained-by-experience and practice-as-research, we present a corpus of memories composed of recent logbooks and performances, trying to understand, through an embodied knowledge, the sensitive and intuitive research processes that reveal other possible modes of existence. In this context, we recognize the artist-shaman as the catalyst for research.
