The methodology used is anchored in the practice of film analysis and the reconstitution of scenes, performances and dialogues through reflections that include documentary film, mass culture and Queer Theory point to the documentary record of characters representative of minority identities that are also positioned in their differences, in order to perpetuate a survival struggle that is affirmed in the creation of queer ballroom culture.
