This thesis aims to think about the passage of the dances of the orishas from the religious context of Brazilian candomblé to the stage, taking as an issue the relation between art and the sacred trough the works on dance of Brazilian choreographers.For this purpose, however, the thesis begins with a critical review of the symbolic and representative perspective that guides most of the canonic texts about Brazilian candomblé, mainly in the fields of anthropology and ethnology.This initial movement aims to put in question this perspective as a presupposition of the analyses that doesn't consider a critique to the representative paradigm that guide the western thought, once candomblé has its 'own' philosophical and cosmological presuppositions, as a world view that not necessarily operates through this same symbolic and representative logic.Following this first movement, it dedicates to a rereading of the biopolitics issue from the "immune paradigm" that relates the scientific knowledge about the body to a political and democratic conception, which is interesting to think about the colonial and slavery system relations to the non-European ways of living and world views in Brazil that shaped the construction of candomblé as a religious body to which these issues flows, considering the inherent dynamism of the tradition in which it is based upon.The dance arises as a field of thought and knowledge in which the contradictions get together and are solved through the work with and from the body, emphasizing its multiplicity in a positive way -and not as in the biopolitical project that aims to confine it in opposite conceptions.This comes, first, through a consideration about the sound and the music as ways to think political, economic and social organizations, in order to undo the hierarchy of senses from which emerge different rationalities and world views.Finally, the works of Brazilian choreographers that take as a dance technique not only the European dances, but also the African dances and, more specifically, from the orishas that belongs to the religious tradition of PUC-Rio -Certificação Digital No 1412358/CA candomblé.This passage from the "terreiros" (the temples) to the stage brings forward the relation between the sacred, the ritual and art as fields that, according to a world view founded in candomblé, if we can refer like that, are not aparted
