Paraíso

At sunset, love songs resound in the public gardens of the Palácio do Catete, the former official residence of Brazil's president. An improvised orchestra accompanies a group of elderly people aged between 70 and 100 who sing to purify their souls and celebrate together the joy of being alive to the rhythm of a Brazilian serenade. In a frenetic world, marked by the digital divide between generations and social strata, gathering in the square to sing may seem like an unimportant gesture. But it can also become a transformative act. Sérgio Tréfaut's attentive gaze immortalizes a group of elderly people who confront individualism with the power of music.
