‘Em Casa Com s Gil’, which debuts Friday 24 on Amazon Prime, shows everyone together and confined to a farm in Araras; next season will be captured during their tour of Europe
Gil has locked himself up with his large family of four generations on a farm in Araras, in Petrópolis, in the Rio highlands. With the guitars at their side and between rehearsals with their daughters and grandchildren, they discuss, philosophize, sing, argue, play, laugh and cry. The whole thing is captured by cameras scattered around the house and more than 30 microphones remain open in strategic places, but the idea of a reality show does not fit well when you see the final result of the project.
The series that will debut Friday 24 on Amazon Prime has called At home with the Gil, not like Globo’s Big Brother, who tries to exalt the worst that exists in human beings by exposing them to extreme situations generated by greed for a final prize, but quite the opposite. Gil, the great patriarch, is seen challenged by his grandchildren to reflect, which he does in a natural and uplifting way, on re-meaning agendas, such as race and gender. But also to sing a lot and rebuild oneself by telling about one’s life. The story of him alongside Flora Gil, his time in exile, his kidney disease, his childhood, his years as Minister of Culture alongside Lula. All lightly, while counting things when you are surrounded by your family.
Andrucha Waddington, creator and manager of the project, has also linked other purposes to impress emotion in the first chapters and has already thought about the theme of the second season. After the first one, exhibited in five parts, Gil and his family will go on a long tour of shows throughout Europe, and the special will be called Traveling with Os Gil. The following sequence is brilliant. In the first season, each family member has the right to choose a song composed by Gil to rehearse and play on the tour that will take place in the following season. And when everyone will justify their choice, giving the reasons that led them to choose Walk with faith, I am not afraid of death or Dragonit is very difficult not to cry with them.
Gil, who will turn 80 next Sunday, 26, spoke about the program at an online press conference. For Estadio, he replied of the weight of patriarchy, of how much an 80-year-old man who has managed to keep his family close to watch his great-grandchildren grow cannot be wrong with his jokes. The answer, he says, lies in your ancestors. “This comes from my parents. They had already been very careful in the task of educating my sister, Gildina and me. They are the result of a very refined upbringing from my mother, ai, grandmother and aunt.”
Andrucha said he already felt like a member of the Gil family even before the project. And she said she recorded the scenes in Araras in the midst of a pandemic. “We use confinement for this. The project shows that not even the pandemic can stop our voices.” Preta Gil, Gil’s daughter, spoke about the scale of the discussions and the interest they may have for the public. “We are a mixed family, my father mixed many people. This diversity is the DNA of our family, our conflicts, our questions, we convey a truth about what it means to be mestizo, different, multiple. We talk about naturally. “.
