This article presents the dossier “Worlds in Performance”, an outcome of the event “Seismology of Performance: 20 years Napedra”, which took place in 2021. Attention is directed to the “performative turn” and its seismic effects on anthropology and other fields of research. Horizons of knowledge expand, subverting notions of space, and imploding conceptions of time. The fragile and ephemeral, yet potentially powerful and explosive dimensions of bodily action spark the anthropological imagination. From bodily senses worlds of sense in friction are created. In performance, worlds are formed and disappear. Whirlpools of performance show traces of worlds yet to be. In Brazil, effects of this “performative turn” are revealed in the creation of Napedra – The Research Center in Anthropology, Performance, and Drama, and of other leading groups in anthropology and performance. They are also revealed in this dossier, which explores some of the whirlpools of worlds in performance.
