The present investigation is a qualitative study, which proposed to investigate the Muzenza Group capoeira, in Belém of Pará, in the light of the Performance’s studies, thereby contributing to the Capoeira and the Performance research in the university area of the Performing Arts in Brazil. For understanding the Capoeira "as" performance, focused on the analysis of some of its essential elements, such as the game and the fight - inherent categories used by the capoeiristas in almost all groups in the country - the research is affiliated to a network of theorists focused for the epistemological construction of performance as an analytical category. They are: Victor Turner, Richard Schechner, Paul Zumthor, Jorge Glusberg e Aldo Terrin Victor Turner, Richard Schechner, Paul Zumthor, George Glusberg and Aldo Terrin. The study was conducted in two stages: the first corresponds to a literature review (books and theses) about the Capoeira produced in Brazil, among which we mention: Waldeloir Rego, Nestor Capoeira, Eusébio Silva. Besides the references of Performance Studies, cited above. The second corresponds to an exploratory ethnographic reserch. After the data collect and analysis of this material, we arrive to the following hypothesis: that the gestures used in the game of Capoeira Group Muzenza transcend purely performance body (motor skills), revealing others characteristics more soft, such as improvisation, risk, Surprise, shock, etc.. These elements considered essential to the practitioner culture, were identified in the "performance" (play and fighting) of the Muzenza Group capoeiristas, both in public Capoeira’s wheels (artistic and acrobatic performances) and in their everyday practice.
