• Abstract:

  The work focuses on the analysis of the scenic process between the community of ``Batida de umbigada`` de Capivari and Cia Ui de Teatro, formed by young Capivarian actors, and how this exchange can deepen cultural and political actions of recognition and distribution in search of greater connection of civil society with its local culture. Capivari is the land of popular master Anicide de Toledo, the first female voice of ``Batida de umbigada`` de Capivari. She creates compositions that tell of the ancestral resistance of her people. Despite the strength of this cultural manifestation and even though there are resistance movements by communities and collectives in the city, the aforementioned intangible heritage still finds it difficult to interact with official public bodies, as they shy away from supporting and/or offering effective public policies.
