Poética amazônida amapaense: trilhas narrativas, criação de experimentos cênicos e saberes ancestrais

Abstract

This memorial brings reflections on some clippings of my artistic and personal process in the Theater Degree course within the Universidade Federal do Amapá (2016-2019). Starting from the scenic experiment Além do Rio (2017), from the discipline of Interpretation II, which reverberated other modes of body-thought, providing questions about the artistic work in the Amazon and about my relationship with the ancestry and collective knowledge of Amapá in the forest, also correlated the notions of enchantment. It is possible, from this experience, the emergence of other two (02) experiments that were instigated from this first one already mentioned: experiment Corpo árvore (2018), from the Pedagogical Practice IV discipline, which is an action that tells about the relationship with the matriarchs of my family and the ancestral rescue of our relationship, in addition to telling about how these women help in my processes of creation and personal development, sharing with me their knowledge and their charms; and the experiment Iara, Mãe d'água (2019), from the Theatrical Techniques discipline, which tells about the strength of Iara, who is a female figure with great power in northern Brazil. I talk about the strength of my family matriarchs and the physical and spiritual healing powers of medicinal herbs and the process of carrying out this experiment. Throughout the memorial I bring bibliographic references focusing on Amazonian aspects, as well as empirical knowledge that intersects in the trails of this memorial.
