ABSTRACT

The research analyzes "Mata Rasteira: The Origin of Resistance" by Abner Laurindo, delving into the genesis of capoeira. Using the "Hero's Journey," it narrates the enslavement of Nlongi and his family in Brazil. The griot-lawyer narrator employs a heterodiegetic and omniscient narrative, blending historical times. The work has a journalistic-documentary tone and promotes an Afro-diasporic and Afrofuturistic perspective, challenging colonial views. Keywords: Performance, Ancestrofuturism, Languag
