Women Quarries and their construction sites Construction of a tramaturgia based on personal memories and female narratives from the Community of Peixinhos – PE.
Artethnography - f(r)iccional performative writing - feminist dramaturgy - Pernambuco playwrights - Tramaturgia.
The objective of this work is to share the paths taken to write a dramaturgy and its creation processes based on personal interactions with Vila das Mulheres Pedreiras, a pioneering experience of a group of women who built their own houses in the neighborhood of Peixinhos, in Olinda–PE. Having witnessed the day-to- day life of that village as a child, I was touched by feminist, political and social issues present in what, even today, can be seen as the appropriation of a predominantly male workspace. But before delving into this process between myself and the community, I take a look at playwrights who precede me and are contemporary, in Pernambuco. In six of these authors, I identified connections with feminist agendas and with my creative paths, selecting and analyzing a work by each of them: Josephina Álvares de Azevedo (O Voto Feminino, 1890), Luciana Lyra (Guerreiras, 2009) and those of the new generation, Janaina Gomes (Mi Madre, 2019), Natali Assunção (Ainda escrevo para elas, 2019), Agrinez Melo (Histórias Bordadas em Mim, 2016) and Andala Quituche (Sina, 2014). As for the methodological path, I used the performative writing of f(r)iction (Lyra, 2020) and the possibilities of contemplating artistic creation in the research process. I also relied on the artethnographic approach (Lyra, 2011) to begin the construction of a dramaturgy about the universe of Vila, the game between concreteness and subjectivity in the daily dynamics of those women, including manifestations of memory, the sensitive and the poetic. I called tramaturgia cotiDiana the text EU-Parto, still in the process of elaboration, through fictional writing, seeking to encompass the richness of the multiple and interactive character of these personal plots/dramas that move between past, present and future.
