Abstract
In this writing I propose to look from the philosophy of performace, the image of ritual and the myth The Seated Man, which Professor Fernando Urbina has investigated in the Amazon region of Colombia. The pictograms and petroglyphs that appear repetitive specifically in the Araracuara region account for an image, but specifically for the myth that precedes it. Myth that leads me to think about the action that exists in stillness and being seated, in the action that exists in thinking and speaking, elements that I intend to observe from the performative as an art form and as a way of understanding and assume actions that the human being produces and lives from different daily lives.
