SUMMARY:

This research stems from an investigation carried out by actor-researchers from Bimphadi, Center for Research in Performing Arts, based in Luanda, Angola, on Nyaneka dances and songs. The main objective of this study was to investigate the rites of passage Efiko and Ekwendje and verify if would possible to use them as a basis for the body- vocal preparation of the group's actors. Starting from an empirical methodology of an experimental nature, we propose the deconstruction of the forms of European theater, imposed on Angolan actors by the colonizer, and we seek our own path, based on our experiences and our culture. From the practical research carried out by the group, we discovered that the dance-songs, from Nyaneka cultural manifestations, bring with them spectacular elements that can be resignified in the process of creating in a theater play. Through ritualistic songs we access and traverse our ancestral culture to anchor the timelessness that intertwines the actor's corporeality and vocality in the present moment.
