Bodies strange, distorted, disfigured, disjointed. What to do when a logic of sensation is imposed and subverts bodies, processes of creation in dance and choreographic strategies? How to compose in states of vibration, spasms, prolonged pauses, tremors and gestures that simply insist on moving in a certain way? By bringing out from the sensations textures of movement, taken from previous themes, ideas, techniques and scripts, the choreographer and dancer Juliana Moraes had her procedures challenged in the elaboration of the choreographic series Peças curtas para desesquecer (Companhia Perdida) and the solo Desmonte. Such mobilizations of the body emerged in the experiments with materials inspired in the relational objects of Lygia Clark, in laboratory ministered by the artist Ana Terra. Ordinary objects, without semiotic appeal, generated a disassociated dance of images. With the research methodology of the actor Gustavo Sol, such materials were formalized by maintaining the vibration power of the bodies in states of poetic presence, in which the attention has a choreographic dimension. Dance in act. Logic of the propositions of Lygia Clark and Hélio Oiticica, who in the 1960s broke with visual art supports and, inspired by Oswald de Andrade, established an anthropophagic mode of creation. Anthropophagy as procedure. Shifting the question what is to what can be done with sensoriality, we investigated the modes of creation and the writings of Juliana Moraes and five other creators in dance and theater - Mariana Muniz, Jussara Miller, Luis Ferron, Renato Ferracini, Carlos Simioni and Gustavo Sol. What do these artists devour? What bridges do they construct between visible and invisible worlds? Would they be permeated with the principles of indigenous cosmogonies, the knowledge of/in the body, of a performativity? In a cauldron, around the anthropophagic sensorialities, artists, boil artists, shamans and thinkers, from Deleuze, José Gil, Steve Paxton, Anna Halprin, Hubert Godard, Antonin Artaud, Oswald de Andrade and Viveiros de Castro, among others.
