Abstract

This work is an excerpt from a research on the Marujada of Bragança. It is a cultural and religious manifestation, an important part of the Festa de São Benedito. This manifestation awakened in me the desire to research and explore the question of the elderly body in the Retumbão dance of the Marujada in Bragança/PA. The study was conducted in the municipality of Bragança, northeast Pará, with elderly members of the Brotherhood of São Benedito. Data were collected amid the pandemic caused by covid-19.

[1] Cultural and religious manifestation, considered the most important of the rituals with 227 years of existence.

[2] Main dance among the dances of Marujada.
