Sisters Grimm, the creators of the Grammy® Award-nominated show Inala, are to present the UK premiere of Voices of the Amazon, a passionate dance musical from the heart of Brazil, directed by Pietra Mello-Pittman and choreographed by Helen Pickett.
Voices of the Amazon will open at Sadler’s Wells on 4 July 2017 following an appearance at the Chekhov International Theatre Jubilee Festival in Moscow from 14-16 June. The show will then travel to Singapore to perform at Grand Theatre, Marina Bay Sands from 28-30 July. The show has recently been announced as part of the line-up for Latitude festival 2017.
Set amidst the Brazilian rainforest, Voices of the Amazon follows the story of Beleza; a water spirit from the Amazon, whose search to cure her dying sister takes her on a life-changing journey deep into the rainforest.
Voices of the Amazon features a sensational musical score, containing sounds recorded from the Amazon Rainforest, with music and songs performed in English and Portuguese. Combined with Helen Pickett’s fusion of ballet, contemporary and capoeira, the show aims to highlight the damaging effects of deforestation, the loss of natural medicines and plants, and promises an exhilarating live experience, embracing the true spirit of Brazil.
