Festa encantada: a teatralidade e a performatividade na Quadrilha Junina Amor Junino de Alagoas no ano de 2013

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis aims to examine the intersection between theatricality and performativity in the June performance of the "Quadrilha Junina Amor Junino" from Alagoas in the year 2013. The objective is to understand how this form of cultural expression incorporates theatrical and performative elements. I conducted an in-depth research encompassing analyses of junina quadrilha performances, interviews with participants, and a literature review related to the topic. Within the research scope, I discovered actions that highlight that the junina quadrilha is much more than a folk dance; it is a complex manifestation of theatricality and performativity. We were able to examine contemporary adaptations and innovations within the junina quadrilha, including elements of street theater, puppetry, and other forms of scenic expression. These changes demonstrate the flexibility and vitality of the junina quadrilha as a form of performative art. This research contributes to understanding the junina quadrilha as a multifaceted cultural manifestation that incorporates theatrical and performative elements at its core. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of preserving and promoting this rich cultural tradition, challenging the boundaries between dance, theater, and popular festivities, providing a unique experience of artistic and community expression.In this context, I present the creative process construction, starting from dramatization to more elaborate narratives such as stylized characters, weddings, and carefully rehearsed dialogues. This process extends to the visual conception, evident in exaggerated costumes, settings, makeup, and props.
