We reflect on the songs from their epistemological and political potencies and as fundamental elements for an ethnic-racial discursivity in studies of this important work in the field of performing arts. The notion of songs of black experiences proposes the understanding of the term <em>tradition songs,</em> central in Grotowski’s work, as means of communication of diasporic and Afro-descendant experiences, contrary to the solely instrumental and uncritical use of these performative technologies.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença}, author={de Jesus, Luciano Mendes and Pereira, Sayonara Sousa}, year={2022}, month={out.}, pages={1–29} }
