memory; affections; Aviamentos; creation process.
The present research focuses on creation procedures based on memory and affections, sustained by experience. An approach metaphorized by the step-by-step act of sewing, it takes place in the first person, given the autoethnographic nature of the research. This study has a formative character, where practice is its method and guide. The process of creation is detailed under a subjective look, while the performative writing itself brings a poetics, which advances over the various aspects of creation, from its idealization to the materiality of the work. Here, a contextualization is made of artists whose poetics approaches an approach to the real in the scene. The memories are woven and reinvented by listening and by the scenic body, under a reflection dialogically sewn by scholars from the fields of arts, psychology, and philosophy. The conceptual approach adopted understands memory as a construction of presence and writing of the self, besides recognizing it as social and constantly updated by relationships. From this, the relationships of affection and friendship constitute the foundations of the modes of creation experienced and analyzed in this work. Finally, we advance on the specific path for the scene that resulted in the theatrical spectacle, Aviamentos.
