Twin boys take refuge in a tree in the rainforest. A spirit casts a spell over all who pass beneath its branches.
Years later, a troupe of dancers rehearses in the forest. Confusion erupts as friends and enemies change bodies, transformed by the enchanted tree. The world looks different through another pair of eyes!
Amazonia is a Brazilian celebration of a show packed with music, dance and laughter. The cast, which mixes English and Brazilian performers, is led by Brazilian comic actor Pedro Cardoso.
