Zoe: Threatened common life
Keywords:
zoé, utopian body, heterotopia, culture, subjectivity.Abstract
In 2017, the dance performance Zoe, directed by the choreographer Francini Barros, was censored, because its first scene had a naked performer, on the sidewalk of the Apolo Theater in Recife. The fact provoked a reflection on art as a mechanism to establish a utopia against neoliberal conservatism. The present paper aims at understanding how the creative processes of the performance Zoe are placed as a micropolitical strategy of resistance to this conservatism. In order to do so, we dialogue with Agamben, Foucault, Deleuze, Guattari and Rolnik to discuss categories that served as a basis for our argumentative line, like ordinary life (zoé), utopian body, heterotopia, culture and subjectivity.
