ABSTRACT The Ground of the Cities is a performance that incorporates public space dynamics and acts in the fine line between life and performativity. It looks at the vulnerability of homeless people in the everyday life of contemporary cities in Brazil. Using The Ground of the Cities as a case study, this article considers how urban interventions may be understood as catalysis that expose the injustices embedded in a city’s social tissue. I propose that the practice-based investigation of public spaces through performance can engender new narratives in which the everyday conflicts of the city are re-written in an expanded participatory political dimension.

城市的大地——作为催化剂的表现

摘要 《城市的大地》是一场融合了公共空间动态的表演，它在生活和表演之间的细微差别中发挥作用。它着眼于巴西当代城市日常生活中无家可归者的脆弱性。本文以《城市的地基》为案例研究，探讨如何将城市干预理解为催化剂，揭露城市社会组织中的不公正现象。我建议通过表演对公共空间进行基于实践的调查可以产生新的叙事，在这种叙事中，城市的日常冲突在扩大的参与性政治维度中被改写。
