摘要：This paper is about the everyday of four people considered “ loucos de rua” who wander around the streets of the Ouro Preto city for more thirty years, they adopt peculiar behaviors while they walk to somewhere. From the interaction of these people with local population and with the researcher, I seek to show how their aesthetic perception have helped to understand the madness experience that overcome the medical and legal boundaries.Moreover from the discussions on performance and experience, I tried to understand how the behavior of the“loucos de rua” are ordinary and extraordinary at the same time. For this, I have been observed that behaviour through two axes in time, which I define as vertical and horizontal. In short, I try to elucidate how the "loucos de rua" are important for Ouro Preto city and how the local population classifies them together with the singularities of the city.
