You enter a darkened hall and the first drumbeat feels like a heartbeat from the forest itself — a pulse that widens as dancers spill onto the stage in painted masks and feathered headdresses. The production stages the Amazon’s myths and rhythms in a compact, theatrical form that pulls rainforest imagery into the city of Foz do Iguaçu.
