Vau De SarapalhaFor over a decade, Grupo Piollin has transported audiences to a rural scene where the  brutalities of life and death are forged in the unforgettable voices and bodies of five  actors.  The burnt, unforgiving landscape of the Brazilian sertão becomes the universal  setting for this tragic tale of unrequited love. A compulsive story in which the stage is  literally set alight by the elemental and irresistible forces of nature.

Performed in Portuguese with English translation
