SUMMARY:

This master’s research in the arts, written in the first person, emerges from the sharing of knowledge among artists, researchers, and the community of benzedeiras and benzedores (traditional healers) of Rio Grande do Norte, with whom I have lived since childhood up to the present day. Throughout this poetic writing, I propose dialogues with authors such as Eduardo Oliveira, whose studies address ancestry, the body, and poetics; Fátima Freire Dowbor, whose work inspires my actions as an educator; Bianca Bazzo Rodrigues, through her performance studies inspired by the benzedeiras; Lara Rodrigues Machado, who proposes the ‘Poetic Construction Game’ as a methodological approach grounding the scenic dimension of this research; Roberta Barbosa, whose doctoral research offers the Seridoense body-territory as a foundation for artistic inquiry; and Sebastião de Sales Silva, who develops studies on memory and the crossings of dance within pedagogies and bodily creative practices rooted in play. In this way, the master’s dissertation describes experiences in body arts, in the art of educating, in performing arts, and in audiovisual practices—poetic, political, and pedagogical languages of the artistic scene. ‘A casa da Benzedeira’, the artistic work resulting from this research, is a scene stitched together through the memories and embodied textures of the character Dona Romã, who shares wisdoms, tells stories, and invites us to gather among conversations, prayers, and coffee. This research is also, and ‘above all,’ an invitation to arrive with care and a request for permission to immerse ourselves in the mysterious landscape of benzeções (healing blessings).
