Chat with Lúcia Amélia Aeberhardt

A great pleasure to have this small talk with Lúcia who, besides being an artist and therapist, is an incredible person who we want to talk for hours. But let’s go to our new place, which she will inaugurate here in 7 points. PHOTOS: JHEICE CORREIA ROLF AEBERHARDT

1 - What does art represent to you?

LAA: Art for me represents the air I breathe, the blood that runs through my veins, art for me is life, joy, communication. The way I chose to communicate with my audience and express my feelings, ideas and achievements. I like to express myself through different forms of art, exactly for this reason I decided to use literature, music, techniques learned in the theater and body expression as an instrument of communication and social interaction because my life is a show stage. I am the art.

2 - In your work, do you work with people of other nationalities?

LAA: I am Bienoise, here we have 58 thousand inhabitants and 158 nations (it fascinates me, because I like human being). Trilingualism is a constant. I am graduated in multiculturalism and intercultural mediator and I speak five languages, this facilitates my work with other nationalities.

3 - When you work with artistic expressions, do you feel your Brazilian side or do you think there is a mix?

LAA: Due to my multicultural work and trips to five continents, I am influenced by different ethnicities. For example: Inspired by the tribes of Africa, the rhythms of Iran and India, I created a choreography which I named “Mandala Mutante Pura Arte”, it is a spiritualist soil full of energy.

4- When did your adventure with art begin?

LAA: I like to joke and say that my contact with the world to give arts started from my mother’s womb since I am a daughter of a writer and composer. My maternal great-grandfather played banjo and cavaquinho, he founded at the time the first and only Jazz band in the city. My grandfather was a trumpeter, each one of my uncles played an instrument...

5- What are the next events?

LAA: I am currently participating in a project called ”Come Together Songs” led by Jacqueline Zimmermann. The project involves people from eight countries and the presentations are scheduled for March 24th, April 28th, May 26th, June 23rd at Haus pour Bienne. In 26th, 27th and 28th of March I will be singing at two wedding in Germany. In June 13th I will be at Circo Filacro in Uster on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Madalena’s. My degree in Theology also allows me to organize funeral ceremonies and celebrate marriage.

6 - Do you have any tips for a girl or boy who wants to follow this path?

LAA: I’ll quote Bertold Brecht here:

“All arts contribute to the greatest ofall arts: the artof living” (Completing by Lúcia Amélia Aeberhardt) So sing, dance, smile and live your joy every day. And, of course, without forgetting the values that we must cultivate, such as self-love, honesty, fidelity, responsibility, humility, solidarity, tolerating differences, perseverance, respect and longsuffering.

7 - Do you believe in the transmission of these values?

LAA: Absolutely! I not only believe in them but also practice and I transmit. I conclude by citing Pythagoras:

“Educate the children and it won’t be necessary to punish the men.”
