This dissertation aims at analyzing, in the film Labyrinth of Passions (1982), Pedro Almodóvar, the sexual performances of the main characters Riza Niro (Imanol Arias) and Sexilia (Cecilia Roth), discussing the visions binary sex / sexuality / gender. The theoretical approach adopted in this study had as one of its pillars, Queer Theory and Judith Butler as one of its main representatives. The film was made as a kind of document, and the main characters Riza Niro and Sexilia as a pretext / pre-text to discuss a subject that presents multiple possibilities of sexual practices. The analysis results bring important reflections about the performances as gender / sexuality can be varied. However, they are not sustained in the mindset of the people, although the vision binary man / penis woman / pussy is constantly reinforced and maintained by heteronormativity, which reinforces the segregation of other sexual practices existing and exercised. Issues like that can be man, woman, gay, lesbian and other related characterizations, are diluted and insipid performances before escaping the frameworks imposed by hegemonic view of sexuality and gender are. Sexual behaviors are put into question when, in a 1982 film, ie, 30 years ago, now we are presented with a set of characters that have a different way and to put plastic on life and their sexualities. We hope that this research will contribute to a psychological reflection of release binaries sex / gender, heteronormativity and compulsory heterosexuality, and also bring a reflection on how education can be flexible, that is, not crystallized, the ways of life.
