Ybabia: caminho que leva para o céu

Abstract

The present work, affectionately titled Ybabia - path that leads to heaven, narrates the story of an artist, an indigenous woman who recounts her story and creates a spectacle. The story crosses the past of Caucaia, the city where it was born, telling the trajectory of Tapeba, the enchanted people who are invoked here by their relatives and relatives. In the first section of this writing, I draw on indigenous women who research their ethnicities and histories. My writing is traced and drawn with various poems and songs. I bring personal accounts of the writing of Arissana Pataxó (2018), Márcia Kambeba (2018), Graúna (2023) and other indigenous women who transform history into art, debating subalternization, colonialism and decolonialism. In the second session I brought Toré, indigenous dance and music, I talk about its poeticity, village and classroom. Showing objects and dates that are important to indigenous peoples, especially the Tapeba people. I tell the story of life in the village of Vila do Cacos through a poem and the importance of these rituals not being lost from the curumins (children). At the end, I attach a document that talks about the genocide and how, for some years, indigenous people were excluded and considered non-existent. In the third session I write about the transition and choice of the new name of the show and artistic experiment. I talk about my life and trajectory in art, until I arrived at this research. I describe what the show is like and the affective memories it carries. In the fourth session, a walk for the next dances, here is over, but I believe that there will be more crossings on this theme, I will step on this ground again, 'pisa caboclo não disturba'. My life and people are intertwined, It is imperative that it ends here. Believing that this research will continue in other projects.
