The starting point was the investigation of the profile and history of women in the traditional circus and to identify the main strategies of the project Empoderamento das Mulheres de Circo (Empowerment of Women in Circus) through the analysis of the executions and reverberations of the workshops on Women’s Rights Initiation to Female Clowning that are part of the action, besides the understanding of clowning and its role in promoting the protagonism of women in circus. In this sense, this exploratory research develops a case study of the cultural project using bibliographical and documentary research as its methodology. As it is a field study, the data collection was made through interviews, forms and systematic observations. The treatment of the information was made through a qualitative approach in which was possible to identify the importance of strengthening the social artistic of these women and to understand clowning as a propeller of female subjectivity in the process of repositioning the artists in the universe of circus. It was a successful experience even in the face of the structural precariousness resulting from the negligible reception of nomadic families by the public authorities. Finally, by means of all the studies and paths taken it is possible to affirm that developing the project under the tent of Dallas Circus provided the opportunity for the participating circus women to resound their laughter in the arena, a space historically reserved exclusively for men.

It starts from the urgency of rethinking relations between humans and more-than-humans within the horizon of the Anthropocene, mobilizing art as a sensitive and political activation of other modes of existence. The path articulates performative and audiovisual practices that emerge from the body–environment relation, focusing on two rivers of Espírito Santo —Itapemirim and Jucu — and concentrates on the analysis of two works conceived within this research: CORPO-RIO and CORPO-JUCU. The methodological approach integrates Autoethnography, Somatic-Performative Research, and a view of the audiovisual as a somatic mediator and co-agent of dramaturgy, close to video-ecoperformance. The works are examined as aesthetic-political experimentations that activate haptic visuality, cinema of flow, kinaesthetic perception in screendance, and a cosmopolitics of the image, dissolving boundaries between body, nature, and technique and redistributing agency in the sensible field. Conceptually, the research updates the notion of ecoperformance and situates it vis-à-vis the disputes of the Anthropocene and proposals of making-with and response-ability, alongside a historical-critical reading of the event. The results point to the power of the audiovisual as an ethical-aesthetic mediator in ecoperformance, capable of activating modes of ecological perception and imagination that expand the performative experience beyond the space-time of live action. By making relations between bodies, rivers, and landscapes exist this dissertation proposes audiovisual ecoperformance as a practice that not only represents but also fosters sensitive alliances between human and more-than-human, contributing to the strengthening of critical imaginaries in the face of Anthropocene challenges.

The study primarily uses oral testimonies from its members, due to the destruction of documents during the military coup of 1964, which abruptly ended the movement and resulted in the loss of records, including those that were discarded for fear of reprisals. Emerging during a period of cultural and political effervescence in Salvador, the Bahian CPC brought together artists, intellectuals, and students committed to a political pedagogy oriented towards popular culture. The research covers initiatives in theater, music, cinema, visual arts, and popular education, highlighting impactful theatrical productions and the application of Paulo Freire's literacy method. The study aims to recover and understand the historical and cultural significance of the CPC in Bahia, contributing to filling gaps in the historiography of the movement.

El primer enfoque de esta investigación es el cuerpo, y para anclar en el cuerpo la noción de placer femenino, potencial transgresor, se convoca la figura de la Pombagira de las umbandas y candomblés brasileños, entendida como una especie de “mitodología”, en el sentido propuesto por Luciana Lyra (2011). Dentro del campo del placer, se incorporan también otros trabajos de la autora concebidos a partir de la idea de placer, así como algunos datos sobre la anatomía del placer sexual femenino. En el ámbito específico de las Artes Escénicas, las referencias primordiales son las obras artísticas y académicas de Mônica Santana (2013; 2017; 2021) y de Janaina Leite (2014; 2019; 2021), que abordan las “escrituras de sí / escrituras de nosotras” y las “autoescrituras performativas”, además de otras autoras y artistas, todas mujeres, por elección y propósito. El estudio presenta, asimismo, la experiencia del desarrollo de un “Taller de gemidos, carcajadas y otros catalizadores de placer para mujeres”, que sirvió como fertilizante para las semillas de creación entre las participantes y también para la propia investigadora, en el proceso creativo de un solo escénico autoficcional.
