Resumen
The research question for my thesis deals with the following aspects: How are the intersensitivities expressed during the performance of celebration by five women of Kennedy and Suba Districts and who take part in Project 742 of the Social Integration Secretary of Bogota? The answer for this question explores the critical issues on the tension regarding being an old woman and being an ‘aged woman’, conditions that I have experienced myself. Being an old woman is here perceived as the way state institutions address elderly women. On the other hand, being an ‘aged woman’ is the term I used to prove my conviction that these are elderly women rich in accumulated youth. This latter term was coined from my experience as a performer, a teacher and my own construction of the role of a woman inspired by both of my grandmothers. This research project was carried out from the performance ethnography approach, and used resources such as the performance, the photography and field notes. The outcomes of this project explain the category of ‘aged woman’ as an elderly woman that is able to experience magnified intersensitivities. For instance, their proxemics of loving themselves and loving each other, their visibility to disguise and reinvent themselves, their emphasis on laughter, their sounds and body language for healing, their sounds and eloquence to express happiness, their body expressions to have fun, and their dynamics of intermittency.
