Abstract

In this performance autoethnography, we the authors are inspired by the triple autoethnographic work of Bryant K. Alexander, Hari S. Kumar, and Claudio Moreira. From different moments in their professional careers, they come together to write their biographies into history, creating stories that at the same time resist and demand to be told. Our goal is to write our life into legitimation of a theoretical framework—performance autoethnography—that is not yet accepted in Brazilian academy.
