http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1984-8420.2016v17n2p6This study is embodied as an enunciation space, which reflects the subject’s position, through discourses materialized in it; thus, the body is considered as a support of a social-historical objectified subject. For this proposition, we are anchored in Michel Foucault’s thought, specifically in the notions of space, heterotopias, utopia, subjectivity; and we analyze a video presented in the talent show contest Se ela dança, eu danço, from the Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão – SBT, in January, 2011. In this video, the choreog­raphy proposed by the contester John Lennon da Silva results from a rereading of the classic ballet The Dying Swan. We focus on the transformation of the subjects’ position that composes the jury and on the objectification of the dancer subject before, during and after the choreography.
