'Big-hearted, bright, full of gorgeous Brazilian music… and, above all, commendably different from the usual Christmas fare.' Financial Times

Life is changing for the villagers of Todos Os Santos.
Danger and desire are unleashed and the Amazon trembles.
Can the spirits of the forest save our heroes?
Will you be one of them?

A unique festive experience for all the family. Inspired by Brazilian people's hero Chico Mendes, Brazilian and British theatre artists come together to create a spectacular Amazonian adventure.

For everyone 7 and over.
