Location Map of Amazonia
 
Following up the success of their 'Festa!' street festival, the Young Vic have commissioned a Christmas show from the same Brazilian team. In any other theatre, this tale of magical Amazon spirits would be the kind of right-on rubbish that gives publicly funded theatre a bad name, but the Young Vic has a rare talent for modern fairytales, and a great ability to get local communities involved. Last year's South African Christmas show was infectiously brilliant - and went onto a West End run - and we're expecting great things from 'Amazonia'.
