Description: | The session was prepared by the researcher (BF) a day before asking to the old Agatsipá to tell a traditional narrative for the documentation project (authorizing the use of the video camera). The video camera was used by 5 young kuikuro who have just been taught how to handle it. BF was the what-sayer of the narrative performance and her assistants (Maria Luisa Fragoso and Mara Santos) participated to the planning and to the realization of the session. The session took place at the rear of the performer house. Local: Aldeia Kuikuro (Ipatse); Parque Indígena do Xingu | |
