Gilberto Gil – Stage Tour “Nós a gente”

Video set design and tour

The Nós A Gente tour, by the Gil family, traveled through Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, São Paulo, and Salvador, with set design by SuperUber. The stage was wrapped in elastic fabric strips that framed the performance space and served as a backdrop for never-before-seen family videos—recorded on Flora Gil’s iPhone, drawn from the Gil family archive, and from the Em Casa Com Os Gil series (Amazon / Conspiração). Minimalist animations subtly pulsed in rhythm with each song.

Developed through extensive research, the visual concept unfolds as a layered identity. Short documentary excerpts of Gil speaking at different moments in his career appear before selected songs, highlighting the depth of his legacy.

The artists actively interacted with the set, entering the stage through the elastic fabrics, conceived as a symbolic portal. “The family is the main character, and the video set design acts as a support for images and forms, with gentle movements. Unreleased family videos are the surprise element of the large-scale projections, completing a show filled with talent and affection,” explains Liana Brazil.

On tour, Gil shares the stage with multiple generations of his family, performing songs that span his career — such as Palco and Vamos Fugir — alongside works by Gilsons, songs by Preta Gil, and a dance appearance by Bela Gil.
