Reenactment : entre arquivo e criação

Abstract

Este trabalho propõe um estudo de três casos práticos de performances reenactment: Freeing My Hair (2021) e Freeing COVID19 Memories (2021), dois reenactments realizados por Nathalie Ward a partir da documentação das performances Art Must Be Beautiful, Artist Must Be Beautiful (1975) e Freeing the Memory (1975), trabalhos da artista Marina Abramovic, bem como o reenactment Action Pants: Genital Panic (2005), realizado por Abramovic com base na documentação da obra de VALIE EXPORT, Aktionshose: Genitalpanik (1969). A investigação dos casos implica um pensamento dos arquivos como objeto da prática criativa nas artes performativas, pelo emprego de múltiplas ativações e reativações das documentações, tendo em conta as singularidades do corpo de cada performer enquanto intérprete e transcriador da obra que se propõe reativar. Nos cruzamentos e nas dobragens de tempos, espaços, obras e performers, os reenactments promovem retornos criativos, resgatando um passado complexo que, fantasmagoricamente, é reproduzido, mas nunca exatamente da mesma maneira. Talvez possamos assim, caso a caso, ir de encontro à presença de um passado fantasma em constante diferenciação, estabelecendo, pela via da repetição crítica, um diálogo generativo entre tempos, afetos e modos de criar.This work proposes a study of three practical cases of reenactment performances: Freeing My Hair (2021) and Freeing COVID19 Memories (2021), carried out by Nathalie Ward, based on the documentation of the performances Art Must Be Beautiful, Artist Must Be Beautiful (1975) and Freeing the Memory (1975), works by performance artist Marina Abramovic, as well as the reenactment Action Pants: Genital Panic (2005), recreated by Abramovic based on the documentation of Aktionshose: Genitalpanik (1969), a work by VALIE EXPORT. The investigation of the cases entails a reflection on the archives as an object of creative practice in the performing arts, through the use of multiple activations and reactivations of documentation, taking into account the singularities of the body of each performer as interpreter and transcreator of the work she intends to reactivate. At the intersections and folds of times, spaces, works and performers, reenactments promote creative returns, rescuing a complex past that may be ghostly reproduced, yet never in the same way. Case by case, we will perhaps be able to encounter the presence of a ghostly past in permanent differentiation, establishing, by way of critical repetition, a generative dialogue between times, affects, and modes of creating
