SUMMARY:

This paper aims to develop a descriptive-reflective study of the
show Auto dos Orixás, which is an Afro-Brazilian theater and dance show that tells
stories about the African deities worshipped in religions of African origin: the Orishas.
In 2023, the 13th edition was presented at the Ponto de Cem Réis, located in the historic
center of the city of João Pessoa - Paraíba, with the theme "The sacred in human
relations". The work is proposed not only as a spectacle, but also as an affirmative act to
combat structural racism and Afro-religious racism, bringing political, social and black
identity affirmation aspects. As a methodological framework, we used ethnocenology as
a reference, starting with a qualitative study of the description and reflection of the
spectacularity present from the creative process to the presentation of the show,
focusing on the creation of the corporealities of the Yabás (female deities of the Orishas
cult). The objectives are to highlight the importance of these bodily forms and
narratives, their gestural and symbolic language in the dramaturgical structure of the
work, seeking to understand the importance of the artistic work as an amalgam of
spectacular and subjective elements and to identify how these elements are configured
as an act of cultural resistance and black identity. The writings contribute to pointing
out paths of decolonization in processes of poetic constructions of the scene, given that
the results achieved from the analyses showed that the show transcends artistic
performance by seeking to re-signify historical narratives to the public and affirm Afro-
Brazilian identity, by converting urban spaces into places of resistance, the show
provides visibility and empowerment of black traditions, at the same time as it
challenges prejudices and strengthens ancestry through the dance of the Orishas,
performance and the body in movement, which has the power to strengthen identities
and create in its performers a sense of belonging to a collective movement for the
construction of meaning, which articulates Afro-Brazilian culture with the history of
struggle and resistance of black people.
