Abstract

This article describes and discusses a theatre ritual known as disassembly. We follow the presentations of Tania Farias, member of the group Ói Nóis Here Traveiz, from Porto Alegre, performed in 2014. In this ritual we see the links established by the artist between her personal history, the group’s history and the theatrical challenges that enabled her to enact her performance. In order to be able to act, she develops her own expressive vocabulary. Her disassembly shows these connections, allowing the audience to see the creative process behind the scenes. Based on this material, we discuss the issue of consciousness and the tacit in ritual.
