Não chores mais
Não chores mais is a lecture performance that begins with my first musical memory: the song “Não chores mais”, interpreted by Gilberto Gil and played on my father’s radio during our first family trip. From this point, I intertwine personal events with political and historical episodes.
Body and gender are central axes, markers of performative productions that both reflect cultural and social aspirations and expose the patriarchal framework that seeks to circumscribe certain feminine experiences — especially laughter and crying — as signs of hysteria and madness, aiming at the disqualification of identity and subjectivity..
During the performance, as I listen to the song, I move between moments of deep crying and exaggerated, irreverent laughter, in a gradation that generates a sense of hysteria, followed by the reading of a text.
