Descer para o futuro: reversibilidade do tempo como poética de des-criação em dança

Abstract

How can we rescue the imaginaries of future in dance? In which procedures can we dive to imbricate curved timing in compositions? Can returning to a creative process tension the confluences between practice and theory in a collective? How the desire to return poetically can become uncreative actions in dance? This research focuses on contemporary dance from a black perspective in order to understand how the axes of body, memory and ancestry were the poetic and dramaturgical foundation for the creation of the performance Ocara (2023), by Companhia Déborah Santos. It returns to its creative process with the aim of investigating it from the point of view of scenic disassembly (Diéguez, 2013), understanding it as de-creation in dance. With this, the research aims to draw up reflections on the reversibility of time in dance as a dismantled/uncreated and spiral poetics. It takes up the black references left behind by white and Eurocentric thinking in order to launch into a future that lies in the descent of modern thinking. In other words, descending into the future.
