The visibility that the media has been giving to the body brings a large dose of violence, which can be verified by the photos of mutilated bodies and victims of several kinds of abuses. These are images, official or subliminary, that populate our cultural imaginary. Those images refer to contexts that transform themselves in material to elaborate a critical discourse. This is the context in which are inscribed the works of the Brazilian choreographer Lia Rodrigues and of the French choreographer radicated in Berlin, Xavier le Roy. They transform the images seen on the media into artistic material in the form of tableaux vivants. The research s problem was motivated by the follow question: in the globalized world, crossed by similar kind of image about the body, would it be possible to produce a specific reading in these shared contexts? As they work in distinct places and since both are interested, basically, in similar questions in this mediatized world; Lia Rodrigues and Xavier le Roy were set side by side with an intention to configure a field where it would be possible to investigate an answer to this question. The challenge in this research path was to comprehend the relationship between the transformed questions in image by the media and their works. Once accomplished, the research arrived to the hypothesis that both construct a politic in the body . These are not discourses that the body speeches or interprets, but critical discourses about the own doing. The methodology applied was a bibliographic review about body & politic with an embodied reading followed by a field research with the choreographers. There were ten months of experience in Germany, in the case of Xavier le Roy, and by a sequence of internships in Rio de Janeiro, in Lia Rodrigues case. The objective of the thesis is to affirm that when the body approaches a certain kind of visibility, it becomes political. To achieve that, the research made use mainly of Jacques Rancière, Peter Pal Pelbart, Giorgio Agamben and Michel Foucault writings, as political philosophers, to read, on the bias of communication, the argumentations proposed by them
