A tribute to the life and work of Lina Bo Bardi. À Lina by Trupe Chá de Boldo

À Lina is one of the five songs of the album Viva Lina, released in February 2020 by the Brazilian group Trupe Chá de Boldo. The album, produced by Otávio Carvalho, is a tribute to the life and work of the architect Lina Bo Bardi.

The music video was directed by Manoela Meyer and recorded in Lina Bo Bardi's iconic project, the Teatro Oficina, founded in 1958 in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The music video explores the flexibility of the project, where the artists and the audience can take over the entire structure of the theater.

Trupe Chá de Boldo group, known for its experimental work, does a beautiful job and invites everyone to visit the different spaces of the project. The use of light and dark in the scenography adds more dynamism to the performance and the warm colors refer to a tropical style.

The lyrics of “À Lina” speak of breaking the limits between imagination and reason and valuing the small pleasures of life. The feelings of freedom, fluidity, and happiness are present in the music and also in the original concept of the Teatro Oficina.

Lyrics.-

Para depois da tempestade
Para um novo amor chegar
Para que entrem os insetos
Para aqui dentro desembolorar
Para ver melhor a lua
Para a rua poder entrar
Para assistir ao beijo na esquina
Para a menina tomar um ar
Para quem curte o sol
Para quem quer se soltar
Para que as plantas todas
Aos poucos possam se aproximar
Eu quero quebrar as paredes
Nós vamos quebrar
