PhD defence | Iury Salustiano Trojaborg – Ancestral Dramaturgies

Artistic Presentation: Thursday 1 October  2 pm, at Malmö Theatre Academy and Folkets Park, Malmö
Public defence: Friday 2 October, 1 pm, Bryggeriteatern at Malmö Theatre Academy

Ancestral Dramaturgies is dialogical artistic research centered on cross-temporal exchanges and their subsequent transformation into dramaturgical and performative outcomes. While these exchanges utilize various formats such as interviews, they extend beyond traditional qualitative inquiry to include encounters with more-than-human entities and ancestral lineages. I position my doctoral research as an investigation into my own positionality, tracing the tensions between my biological, migrational and spiritual ancestry, and the geographies where this research took place: Malmö, Sweden; Copenhagen, Denmark; Rio de Janeiro and Manaus, Brazil. See more.
