Marcelo Machado's documentary charts the history and influence of
the late 1960s Brazilian counter-cultural movement known as
Tropicália. Taking its name from an installation created by Hélio
Oiticica in 1967, the Tropicália movement was an artistic response
to Brazil's military dictatorship of the time, encompassing
theatre, poetry, and music. In addition to combining both the
popular and the avant-garde, the movement was also noted for fusing
traditional Brazilian culture with foreign influences. The film
revisits the movement's legacy through the use of archive material
and the participation of leading Tropicália figures of the day,
including Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso.
