Theater maker Duda Paiva traveled to Brazil for a collaboration with the indigenous Kamayurá: 'In their worldview, humanity, nature, and spirituality are closely interconnected'

Theatermaker Duda Paiva traveled to Brazil to collaborate with the indigenous Kamayurá community on the performance "Adem van het Woud." The journey involved a long trek to the Amazon, where Paiva and members of the Dutch Wind Ensemble engaged with the Kamayurá, learning about their culture and worldview. The project aims to highlight the interconnectedness of humans, nature, and spirituality, contrasting with dominant capitalist perspectives. The Kamayurá's stories and traditions are integrated into the performance, which will feature their music and instruments. The collaboration emphasizes the importance of listening to diverse perspectives and fostering connections with the environment.
