The origin of traditional peoples has been undergoing hybridizations and intertwinements in contemporary society, which is shaped by diverse identities. Therefore, in this study, we reflect on the activities and performance of the Fitas de Tradições Folclóricas group from Montes Claros-MG, in light of visual culture studies, assessing its real importance in maintaining cultural diversity originating from remote times. Our goal is to understand the group as a productive component of social history, memory, visual culture, and imagination, serving as a vehicle for the dissemination of the cultural manifestations it generates. Beyond these considerations, we address the importance of preserving intangible heritage, emphasizing folk dances and respect for diversity through the renewal and appreciation of traditional knowledge and practices, which are usually passed down from generation to generation. This collective effort contributes to safeguarding the intangible expressions of our country. We engage in dialogue with authors who address the reformulation of traditions, the translation and invention of traditions, grounding the metamorphosis of artistic choreographies developed by the Fitas group. This process deconstructs the history and conception of the concept of choreographic metafiction, merging the idea of metafiction with choreography, which involves the composition and structuring of movement in dance. Within the scope of the Fitas group's activities, we have undertaken an inquiry into the contribution of international folklore festivals, both in Brazil and abroad, and their role in the group's development. This is particularly examined through the lens of cultural exchange, fostering learning and respect for diversity. Our research follows a qualitative approach, involving fieldwork to assess the group's performance and its potential contribution to the assimilation of para-folkloric knowledge, as well as its role in preserving ancestral cultural expressions. This process is carried out through non-formal education, aiming to raise awareness about intolerance and promote the acceptance of cultural differences. Additionally, we discuss the power dynamics woven within the group, emphasizing that power is not merely an explicit relationship of domination but is embedded in social structures, habits, and symbolic representations—understood as the struggle to establish certain worldviews as legitimate.
