viva, reviva e volte a viver. quem gosta de festa que torne a fazer: experiência com arquivo de imagens da companhia de folia de reis “Os Visitantes da Lapinha”

Abstract

This work is a reflection on the experience with the image archives from the folia de reis company entitled “Os visitantes da Lapinha”. The process followed the rites from this traditional revelry, contemplating their sayings and their silences, which resulted in an archive with static images, moving images and sounds, as well as a virtual space for sharing it along with the other materials found or produced. The theoretical framework comes from the works of Roland Barthes, Georges Didi-Huberman, Fabiana Bruno, Etienne Samain, Maria Ilda Trigo and Glaura Cardoso. It is also found in the production of Yasmin Thayná, Safira Moreira e Rosângela Rennó. About the folia de reis, for this work, the community of the company, amidst afternoon coffees in my grandparent’s backyard, shared stories, anecdotes, singing, being thus the main source of research on this tradition. The present study is a look at the images under the perspective of the experience, the tradition and the family memories.
