Aqui dançando... ali cantando... acolá batucando... além mar vou contando: a narração de histórias da tradição afro-alagoana Mané do Rosário

Abstract

This work elaborates considerations about the process of artistic creation developed with the students of the 5th year of the Escola Municipal Dr. Pompeu Sarmento, located in the city of Maceió/Alagoas, which sought to relate experiences of the Afro-Alagoan Mané do Rosário tradition to the context of storytelling in Theater classes. For the purpose of the theoretical discussion, assumptions of black performance were taken as a basis, nuanced in this research by the author Leda Maria Martins, as well as the philosophy of the Congolese Bunseki Fu-Kiau on African performances (drumming, singing and dancing). The aim of this pedagogical and creative experiment was to encourage the construction of student identity narratives through Afrodiasporic knowledge of the Mané do Rosário culture. It was also proposed to link practices related to cultural knowledge and actions to combat racism to Basic Education, establishing interfaces with affirmative actions linked to Law no 11.645/2008 of LDBEN 9.394/1996, which deals with the teaching of afro-brazilian and indigenous history and culture at the school.
