“Saudades Z(é): metaphorizing the construction of the body brincante.”
Memories, Game of Boi de Reis, Actor-Brincante.
This paper aims to present a study entitled “Saudades Z(é): metaphorizing the construction of the body brincante.” The research makes reference to the memoirs of the author-researcher, Sebastião Silva, about the game Boi de Reis in the community Sítio de Santa Cruz, in Vera Cruz city/RN. The metaphor of the construction of the scenic body is already poetry, an art exercise. It is from that perspective that occurs the metaphor of the construction of the body brincante “Zé de Moura” as pedagogy of the scene. It was chosen a snip about the body of brincante that assumed for many years the character Mateus in the game Boi de Reis. The research passes through the memoirs of a people, brincantes of the Boi de Reis and the researcher as the one that infected themselves with the magic of the game. It is anchored in the ritual process (TURNER, 1974), from the concepts of beginning time, structure and anti-structure and precisely in the memoir as recreation of the lived (LEONARDELLI, 2008).
