Keywords: dance, outburst, precariousness, psychoanalysis, survival.
Abstract:
This doctoral thesis is a reflection on the Outflow Dance, by Ceará artist Sílvia Moura, whose organization is in the form of an archipelago and is assembled in two versions; one made up of writings and images and the other recorded in oral form. To let off steam is to share what bothers you, loosen the knots in your throat and, thus, make room in your body and in your relationships. Stitched up by personal accounts, under the experience of anxiety neurosis (panic disorder), it is an outburst whose function, in addition to the author's survival, is to propose a dialogue between dance, psychoanalysis and the concept of precariousness. These writings are directly affected by the socio-environmental-political moment in which we live: pandemic and the rise of the far right, two collective traumas that are difficult to treat. With that, I want to say that Outburst Dance is an intense flow between personal and collective, a call to continue, despite everything.
