Abstract:
The article presents a brief genealogy of the issues related to the genres and sexualities that permeate the “May 1968 world revolution” and some of the political and social consequences of its potential for destabilization. It seeks to create a thread between the world revolution, the beginning of discussions on gender and sexuality in the performing arts from the Teat(r)o Oficina and the current artistic productions that use the body, art and activism to enunciate a disobedience of the norms, called here artivisms of sexual and gender dissent or “queer artivism”.
