| Sumario: | Choosing as a central object the Us + Them tour by musician Roger Waters, who passed through Brazil in 2018 accumulating controversies around his political position in the presentations, this article intends to analyze the tension between the rock ethos, the expectations and specificities of great shows in contemporary times and the quiproquós that arise from these arrangements. From these discussions, we propose that the rupture caused by the performances of Roger Waters in the 22 days he was in Brazil made visible several disputes, negotiations and possible reconfigurations in the affections among his fans. To the demonstrations, performed in digital environments, which we designate as erasures, we underline the attempts to boycott the artist, question his legitimacy, exempt him from responsibility and claim some authority over the show. |
