The Brazil Pavilion will take you on a mesmerizing 15-minute journey of art, nature, and culture.
You first step into a dark room filled with strange, limp figures covered in cryptic text. From the ceiling mysterious plant-like objects hang, giving the impression of a dense rainforest canopy. Slowly, a single light grows into a full moon, illuminating the space and breathing life into the figures. As the moon brightens, the figures grow to reveal people embracing, a capybara, a fish, and other life forms. As the moon brightens, the figures pulsate in a poetic dance to the sounds of animals, the wind and the heartbeat of the forest, symbolising the cycle of life and death and the importance of co-existing with nature. More observant visitors will notice the walls are covered in inflated plastic bags – a poignant commentary on the impact of plastic pollution.
As you move to the next space, you are greeted by a vibrant gallery of Brazilian art. The glittering gold walls, colourful artworks and samba music immerse you in a carnival-like atmosphere. Visitors are encouraged to join in the party and express themselves by donning
indigenous-inspired face paint and colorful “parangoromos” – a fusion of traditional Brazilian parangolé capes and Japanese hagoromo. Some lucky visitors may even get to take these beautifully designed clothes home to serve as a fun memento emphasizing Brazil’s creative spirit and generosity.
The journey circles back to the first room, now transformed by blazing sunlight and dramatic lasers. The atmosphere intensifies until, suddenly, the light dims and the once-lively figures collapse. This striking finale symbolizes the vital role of the sun and nature in sustaining life.
The immersive experience doesn’t end after you’ve exited the main pavilion.
Situated out the front of the pavilion is the food truck. Here you can tickle your tastebuds with fresh coffee from Monte Alegre. Packs of ground coffee and beans are also available to purchase, making the perfect souvenir for coffee lovers. If caffeine isn’t your thing, there’s also a selection of tropical fruit juices such as acai, passionfruit, and guava to quench your thirst.。
This immersive pavilion delivers a powerful message on environmental balance and cultural diversity, making it an unforgettable experience not to be missed.
