Abstract

MELO, Camila Olivia de  and  RIBEIRO, Regiane. The performance art that became octopus: floating in the waters of arts in hybrid and unintelligible corporalities. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.1, pp.239-248. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-026X2015v23n1p239.

The performance in contemporary art has proved a powerful political-artistic tool to make visible corporalities at odds with heterosexual imperative. Ethnographic research was conducted for two years in a house of culture of Curitiba-PR, found body mixtures. The performance in that context was being understood as an octopus, a mixture of performance and octopus. We found a communicative power for the free expression of gender, to destabilize the coherent matrix of gender, or at least an escape from their normative and rigid models. The body tentacles give-and-take by various artistic languages to send messages, to communicate life itself, to make visible your own queer attitude.

Keywords : Performance Art; Communication; Queer.
