Tangles, cupboards, thickets and ruins: notes on comedy and dissidence
Clowning. Drag. Identity. Dissent. Comic.
This work investigates, wanders, through thickets and ruins, where diverse artistic practices are entangled, in particular: opera, commedia dell'arte, clowning and the drag art. The notes raised, however, not due to do a comparative study between the aforementioned artistic languages or, in relation to topical historical perspectives, contrasting data, information, authors, or others. The work intends to aiming, to aggregate situations, people, groups, masks, figures, characters, scenic creations, identities, that supports referring to queer or dissident paths, within a production perspective, grouped absolute or tangential, as part a comic arts. The work also talks about the iteration between creature and creator, from practices where these parts merge as in a heteronomous way.
It is, therefore, a research where parallelisms, similarities and parodies provide the basis for symbolic and aesthetic approximations, discussing gender issues from the lens of contemporary comics.
