| Sumario: | When words are not enough to express the significance of one moment, then the body becomes the recurrent source for expressing emotions and feelings. That is why dance is considered as a media with such high expressive potential that enables the process of unlimited semiosis, mentioned by Peirce and Eco in which the sign —dance— is understood as an instant that “cannot be interpreted [...] without translating into other signs —wheter or not they belong to the same semiotic system—” (Zeccheto et al., 2005, p. 205). In other words, dance offers a wide range of interpretative responses to both, the performer and the viewer. Therefore, is not surprising the connection between religion and dance, since both are the medium of manifestation that support the enunciative necessity of beliefs and ideologies that, most of the time, go beyond the habitual understanding of the individuals. |
