| Summary: | This article approaches the scenic performance of Ney Matogrosso as symbolic tensors of the esthetic and behavioral heteronormative patterns in brazilian society. This artistic expression is treated in time frame of Military Dictatorship, period of notoriety from him with the Secos & Molhados and of great importance to artist`s fans. Data obtained from semi-structured interviews with eleven people, the artist himself and articles from three newspapers point to the specificities of his art, which were significant in order to circumvent and negotiate with authoritarian structures of power averse to their presentation and aesthetic presence. Thus, it develops an approach to art from the perspective of the Social Sciences, attentive to its ability to disturb and break with traditional sociocultural paradigms, in addition to strengthening human rights and citizenship of LGBTs. |
