Resumo
This dissertation presents the Revelry of Saint John in the city of Lagolândia (district of Pirenópolis, state of Goias, Brazil), by using its cultural performances. The Revelry of Saint John with characteristics that remained little know, until now, has the particularity of being performed by proximately 24 women, known as "maidens", apparently, also unique in the country. This manifestation, likewise, other religious/cultural celebrations from the region, arises from the initiative of a religious and political leader in the first half of the XX century, Benedita Cipriano Gomes, popularly known as Saint Dica. This research arose from the problem that there is a religious rite staged for decades in the region, with its unique rules and characteristics, dictated by the feminine, with the hypothesis that those manifestations occur by motivations linked to memory and identity of the place, which surpass the religious and devotional slant. This study follows the line of research Spaces, Materiality and Theatricalities, the temporal and spatial aspect, with emphasis on the characters and how they interact, modifying the relationship and spaces (buildings, streets, houses...) through their performances, of their female bodies and their relations with the history of the place and the language as an act, surpassing the religious and devotional slant. The main authors that give sustenance to this study are some of the main world references, while discussion and approach of the performances, from the popular culture, Anthropology and of the rites, such as Richard Schechner (2002, 2006 and 2012), Milton Singer (1985) and Victor Turner (1974, 1978 and 2005), among others. The survey had some restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020; however, there was no loss regarding its objectives, which intended to show the characteristics of the party and its unique nature of the festivity in the region. Therefore, it was possible to present a result within what was proposed, with material registered during the project period.
