Janduí: Theater as a space of Ancestral Resumption
Janduí; Ancestrality; Theater of Resumption; Kõkamõu.
This research discusses the importance of artistic creation as a possibility of rescuing and reinventing indigenous identities erased by the official narrative. In this context, the work covers the life story of the performer José Ricardo, and the repeated states of indigenous reminiscence in his artistic compositions, situated between ritual theater and performance. The methodology addressed in the research has an empirical and experimental character, and deals with the possibility of valuing the historical path, orality and the deep symmetrical dialogue between the researcher and the subjects involved, as well as the research object: the manifestation of ancestry in creative scenic procedures. About the historical course, I have as a starting point the autoethnographic method. The proposed reflection is anchored in an autoethnographic theoretical basis and in the works of authors such as Luiz Davi Vieira Gonçalves (2019), Grotowski (2015), Bruce Albert and Davi Kopenawa (2015), Ailton Krenak (2018) and Silva and Haderchpek (2018).
