Pegadas da memória de um urso na composição dramatúrgica de Bigorna: um processo criativo documental e autoficcional

Abstract

The research focuses on investigating the creative process of the dramaturgical composition entitled Bigorna (“Anvil”). The material, which mobilizes expedients from the documentary and self-fictional scene, provides reflections on the childhood, youth, and adult life of a fat gay man who recognizes himself as a bear, an identity trait linked to the subculture of the gay community which makes a metaphorical reference to the animal by association of the physical type of its members, generally fat with hair and beards. The process has the memory as the main activator and it is methodologically guided by the perspective of the network of interactions proposed by Cecilia Almeida Salles (2016). Amongst its proceedings, theoretical studies, inventories, experiments, practices conducted by other artists, analysis of works, among others. The research approaches some artistic productions of dissident bodies, with emphasis on lgbtqiapn+ and/or fat bodies, in dialogue with conceptual references such as Jota Mombaça (2021), Judith Butler (2022), Malu Jimenez (2022), Michel Foucault (2013 ), Paco Vidarte (2019), Vinicius Melo Flauaus (2021), Daniele Ávila Small (2019), Davi Giordano (2014), Janaina Leite (2017, and Marcelo Soler (2010). Amongst the main results, it presents a web with description and analysis of the creative proceedings, and the dramaturgical script resulting from the process.
