A SHOW ABOUT SURVIVAL.
Trapped in the Peruvian rainforest, having survived a plane crash and a fall of 10,000 feet, seventeen-year-old Juliane is utterly alone and hopelessly lost. But she’s the daughter of two Amazon zoologists - she knows what to do.
Her Green Hell reimagines the true survival story of Juliane Koepcke in this odyssey of vivid storytelling with a captivating combination of physical theatre and puppetry. Interrogating our fractured relationship with nature, Juliane’s story reveals the strength of humility in the face of insurmountable danger, and is as much about the rainforest’s struggle to survive, as it is Juliane’s.
