This article is a cartography of poetic inventions about Amerindian laughter, triggered at the process of creation of Curupirá, scenic poetic on development as a research about comicities of the deep Amazon forest. Written among what we call tracks, it invites the reader to create his own order of reading, through the disordered writing, while he creates for himself a possible configuration of the uncertain path through which we have been following in research and creation. The article discusses the comicity present in Amerindian myths, starting from Makunaima, and weaves understandings about the trickster, comic behavior of spiritual beings from the forest, present also in the quotidian of the communities, drawing lines about the imbrication, presente in Amerindian thought, between human and animal. It also crosses the invented notion of Makunaimaçãoas an act of torsion operated by Amerindian comicities, poetically triggered in Curupirá. Unfinished, the article ends with a logbook image, leaving to the reader only teasing thoughts that reverberate beyond writing.
