The Amazon is not just a global symbol of natural beauty and biodiversity. It\u2019s also deeply personal to us, especially when we have the opportunity to be on a global stage like AGT. As a Brazilian group, we see the forest as part of our national identity. It\u2019s a place full of magic, myths, and endless artistic inspiration. We wanted to bring this natural inspiration into something as technological as our performances, to reinforce that no matter how advanced technology becomes, art remains something organic and deeply human. So making the Amazon the centerpiece of our act was our way of celebrating its grandeur while also drawing attention to nature\u2019s vulnerability and the urgent need for preservation.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a question we can\u2019t reveal too much about, because we want to surprise the judges and the AGT audience once again. But we can say this: We\u2019re going to take things even further in terms of technical, technological, and artistic quality, all within an even more powerful narrative.<\/p>\n
It was surreal. We know how high the standards are on AGT and how professional the acts are. So receiving that kind of recognition, especially with a show that was completely new to the audience, filled us with pride and gave us even more motivation (and nerves!) to continue on the show. Simon is known for his tough standards and critical eye, so getting the Golden Buzzer from him was a huge validation. It wasn\u2019t just recognition. It reflected years of passion, research and artistic dedication. That moment was truly a turning point for us.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Yes! We are two brothers with complementary talents, one more focused on the artistic side, and the other a tech expert. The idea came as we were exploring ways to stand out in the corporate events market by creating a new kind of stage language to deliver brand messages. At first, the focus was more on marketing than on art. But over time, what we offered companies became increasingly artistic, and the desire to create something for the entertainment world became part of our DNA.<\/p>\n
It all starts with a concept or an emotion we want to express. From there, we build a narrative arc and define the key visual moments. Choreography and technology evolve together, with our dancers and designers working side by side, testing how light interacts with movement in real time. It\u2019s an experimental, fully collaborative and interactive process, where storytelling always leads the way.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve grown a lot in recent years. What started as a small performance group is now a full-scale production company. We have our own headquarters in the metropolitan area of S\u00e3o Paulo, with a large space that includes a rehearsal studio, technology lab, and dedicated areas for artistic creation, development, and experimentation. It\u2019s where all our performances are born, from the first idea to the final execution.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve performed in many cities across Brazil, mostly at corporate events. For now, AGT has been our first international appearance\u2014and definitely our most important performance to date.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
The visibility has opened many doors. We\u2019ve been contacted by companies from all over the world who are interested in our work. But the best part has been the recognition and love we\u2019ve received from people through social media\u2014we can now say we have a global fan community.<\/p>\n
Honestly? Both. But there\u2019s one important detail: while a good part of the prize would go into technology, expanding our infrastructure, and developing new productions, the majority of it would be distributed among the entire team involved in the project.<\/p>\n
