For this purpose were taken as foundations Studies of performance, thea-trical studies, counter colonization studies. The methodology that guides this study is suppor-ted by the notions of poetnography and lived field and was accomplished by the following procedures: bibliographic review, field narrative, personal narrative, and analysis of the ar-twork “Dikeledi e as voltas que o mundo dá” developed by the Núcleo Histórias de Comadre.
