About this event

A recent sellout show at the Edinburgh Fringe, Amazons presents a compelling and mesmerising retelling of the stories of women from the world’s largest forest. “Amazon? Online shopping? No! Come and discover the real Amazon.” Plant-sitting and live-streaming from her friend’s flat in the U.K., Gayara unearths the untold histories of her Amazonian ancestors, from those who watched the first Europeans lay claim to her land, to the women fighting to defend the forest today. Reviews ★★★★★ "A whole rainforest of feelings are generated and we are all mesmerised by this piece" - Three Weeks ★★★★ "A powerful, immersive storytelling experience exploring the lasting impacts of colonialism through indigenous women’s voice" - A young(ish) Theatre Developed with the support of Norwich Theatre
