Abstract
This article analyses how the political circumstances of the extermination of transgender people in Brazil aggravates the vulnerable conditions of performing-arts production. Cisgender dominance in theatre is presented as a neoliberal and colonial factor that maintains trans people in structural danger within artistic processes. While whiteness produces an ethnocentrism in Brazilian arts, cisgenderness causes an ‘ethno-cis-centrism’. For trans people, ‘gender bioterrorism’ represents an alternative strategy for navigating performing arts and society.
