Amazons is a new writing theatre piece by Gaël Le Cornec, presented by the Guimarães Rosa Institute Award, performed at the Former Gent's Locker Room at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Plant-sitting and live-streaming from her friend's flat, Gayara unearths the untold history of her Amazonian ancestors — from those who watched the first Europeans lay claim to her land to the women fighting to defend the forest today. Some scenes are spoken in Portuguese with English surtitles available. The show is by the winners of the Guimarães Rosa Institute Award 2025.
Why see this show?
A gripping, politically charged piece that moves between live-streaming and deep history. The mix of contemporary staging and ancestral storytelling makes Amazons one of the more genuinely original shows at the Fringe.
