Abstract
The reflection triggered here has os its guiding axis the scenic event Cabaré da Rrrrraça, by Bando de Teatro Olodum - Salvador Bahia, conceived as a Poetics of the crossroads – the result of the dialogue between the concepts of crossroads by Leda Maria Martins and Luiz Rufino – which materializes in the space-time-body-laughter-black Brazilian corporeality. Decolonial laughter: humor via denunciation and political militancy materializing the confrontation with the coloniality of the body, being, knowledge introjected to the black corporeality by the colonizing ideological representations in their crossings and layers, and that such black bodies incorporate on the scene in a performative/ritualistic performance. Therefore, laughter fulfills the strategic function of provoking fissures for other forms of inscription in the world.
