Heitor Werneck criticizes conservatism at the Carnival and wants to make gay gala in SP

The activist repudiates the censorship of nudity in the parades, disapprove of the moralistic jurors and states that the LGBT+ community suffers from lack of union

The artist, producer and activist, Heitor Werneck was one of the highlights of the Star Samba Samba School of the Third Millennium, in the eighth place in the classification of the special group of San Paolo.

The plot “well beyond the rainbow-pour the prejudice of the path that we will go with love” was a cry for respect and freedom for the LGBTQIAPN+ community (lesbians, gay, bisexual, transsexuals, queer, intersex, asexual, pan, not tracks and more).

“I respect your belief / but do not ask for the disease, the natural sensation / there is no bad that is eternal / to hell your morale,” says the Samba-Plot-Sung extract of Anhemb.

The main name of fetishism in Brazil, Werneck spoke with the column on the expansion of the practice and on the impact of conservatism on the carnival.

Many people think that fashion shows have made it possible due to the politically correct. For example, see less nudity and references to sex. Do you agree?

I fully agree. It has become “moral and moral”, fearing that conservative families complained or moralistic judges, who are not even a carnival, and the work and freedom of the communities that can express themselves on the street. These jurors love to take points from any situation that makes morale dictated alone.

What is the importance of the plot of the third millennium, of the division and the float in which you found you, representing fetishism, which is still taboo for many people?

Showing the history of LGBT means evaluating the militants and artists of this community, which is commercially exploited by the brands only in June (time of the gay stop of San Paolo), does not receive support in the rest of the year. The school was courageous and honest with the community. Carnival Murilo Lobo called everyone to show what played in the plot and accepted suggestions. It is historical. Beautiful initiative.

How did you collaborate?

In one of the visits, I stressed that Kinky’s letter “K” (term for unconventional costumes or sexual practices) and the “Q” (person outside the heteronormative standard) were not pronounced in the plot. He called the other day and gave me the floating gift. I was very moved, because bringing the fetish to the street not as a fantasy, but with real characters from the fetish scene of San Paolo, it was a courageous attitude of the school, showing the commitment they proposed.

Are the fetishists leaving the wardrobe?

The fetish is a community that is growing in Brazil. Since 1994 I have been inserting it in soap work, movies, newspapers, museums. Showing it in a parade in the Sambdrome was another responsibility. Our country is dampened and prejudiced, even within the community itself. Therefore, I believe it is important to be shown with elegance and through people who really practice it. On the road, dressed with our stage objects, we literally live the meaning of the word fetish, which is to delight and seduce.

Does this popular party contribute to the Brazilians who live their sexual fantasies more freely?

Carnival is an employment of the public space in a way that the community can express itself with dance and seduction. It is a festival of meat, exhibited in an artistic way. An oppressed community is free, happy, united and dances.

Is carnival still a transgressive part or is it contaminated by economic interests that drown the party’s social aspect?

It remains transgressor. Capitalism ends up being subverted, giving space to the plots to show realities of sometimes unknown characters. For example, themes that respectfully involve African, Indian, Buddhist and Christian matrices. We look at bodies that are usually not portrayed in the media. Samba musicians and owners will always be anarchists. And Carnival uses tailors, embroidery, dancers, finally, professionals who are appreciated.

What were your most daring fantasies of Carnival?

I paraded to Beija-Flor, in the river, all painted in black, using only a slap and a perforated boots. Another costume I loved was to use the grapes that covered the underwear. The fruits were devoured along the parade and replaced them. I represented a faun (Roman god of the fields and flocks).

Before, there were important events from the LGBT+community, like the gay gala in Rio.

Due to disunion within the community. The current generation is in vain. They just want to be Instaggro, judges, cancel. Without joy, only with mimimics and hate. They only look for power and individual followers. Art is destroyed by the ego. But there is my project to produce gay gala in San Paolo. This year it almost happened. I will play the idea with a brewery for the Carnival of next year.
