[La Rencontre]
A production by Complicité / Simon McBurney based on Amazon Beaming by Petru Popescu The Mayoruna “cat-people” live not far from the headwaters of the Amazon river, in the Javari valley. In 1969, the photojournalist Loren McIntyre journeyed deep into the jungle up to the border between Brazil and Peru. He went in search of their isolated, semi-nomadic tribe. The experience transformed his life. Sixteen years later, in Manaus, he told his story to Petru Popescu. The Romanian writer drew upon it in Amazon Burning, a five hundred page-long novel.

At the beginning it was the idea of building a small arts library. Then, little by little, the commitment to share it.
Choice, preference, ignorance, evidence, all assumed.
A desire to discover, an encouragement to remember. Sometimes.
