Só se dança no escuro: reflexões sobre a não-vidência a partir do espetáculo Desassossego em branco"

Abstract

Analyzing Anthropology of the body and anthropology of performance productions, I seek to understand social expectations on the healthy body and its implications. When defining corporal patterns we create stigmas that constrain those who wont wield. Transit (material and intellectual) and encouragement to knowledges and constituted spaces are restricted to few (and configured to discomfort and discourage others). I discuss how the spectacle intitled Desassossego em branco brings, throughout art, relevant questions for us to think about different non-hegemonic corporalities, in this case, sightless bodies. I share the idea that sightless knowledge is a legitimate way to live and translate the world, even in our not welcoming and excluding social structure. The spectacle deconstruct the idea of disability and show how bodily experience show itself beyond the principle of lacking.
