The present work arises from the context of the history of Chegançainthe municipality of Divina Pastora, and presupposes the concepts: Culture, Chegança and Performativity. Therefore, it aims to analyze the performanceof Chegança as it occurs in the municipality of Divina Pastora/SE with the intentionof understanding it based on the conditions and possibilities of creativeandartistic processes in its dimension and performative appropriation. Its theoretical basis is Dantas (1976), Martins (2003), Schechner (2006), Cascudo (2000); Fávero (1983), between others. The methodological option starts fromatypeof explanatory study with a qualitative approach, with the option of EthnographicResearch (Angrosino, 2009). As methodological procedures, focusedon“Participant Observation, Archive Research and Interview” carried out. Theanalysis technique to be used will be based on Content Analysis(BARDIN,2016), ‘Thematic Modality’, for the processing of data, particularlytheinterviews. It can be said that, at first, Chegança and its performativity affirmsthe cultural identity of the Divina-Pastorense people in which the communitychooses Chegança as one of the main activities and which means immersingoneself in local and regional culture, expressing and disseminating their values, traditions and encouragement to future generations in maintaining this funandcelebration that they inherited from their ancestors
