Voices of the Amazon Production

ABOUT VOICES OF THE AMAZON

A PASSIONATE DANCE MUSICAL FROM THE HEART OF BRAZIL. VOICES OF THE AMAZON, a beautifully compelling dance and music experience about love and our global reality.

Set amidst the lush landscape of the Brazilian rainforest, VOICES OF THE AMAZON follows the story of Beleza, a water spirit from the Amazon river, whose search to cure her dying sister takes her on a life-changing journey deep into the forest. Entranced by the beauty of the natural world, her eyes are soon opened to the realities of deforestation and the devastating loss of renewable medicines and plants.

“A completely polished, full-pelt production that goes BEYOND EXPECTATIONS .” – Reviews Hub

Staging VOICES OF THE AMAZON

The show premiered in 2017 and played to standing ovations in Russia, London, Singapore and Latitude Festival. We are thrilled to be relaunching Voices of the Amazon with new designs and staging and a scaled up cast for shows and tours this year.
