In Brasília Broadcast, the shadow of the coup d’etat comes up in the audio of the last speech of Juscelino Kubitschek as a senator, before his cassation and political clearance. The sound of the voice of the ex-president comes from a loudspeaker tied to a tumbled wooden trunk, a reference to traditional parish bazaar posts, surrounded by tools and debris. The audio alters between silence and eloquence, leading to a sensation of return and repetition, reinforced by the cycle of construction and destruction suggested by the scene.
