Abstract

The text discusses a scenic experiment whose creative roots were a bias that linked decolonization and ancestry. O Rio te Chama was a play resulting from the experimentation with Northeastern Brazilian Regionalism, Black and Afro-diasporic cultural references as inspiration for the scenic structure, based on the legend of Cabeça de Cuia, from Piauí, used as a backdrop for the interweaving of diverse historical barriers, such as social inequality, racism, Afro-descendants, religions of African origin, beliefs, customs, and social identity. By unraveling the characteristics of the scene and the play, we sought to engender the premises of the creative process, in which culture, regionalism, racism, and society intersect in movement, poetics, and aesthetics.
