We have fallen in love with this show all over again so we have revived it from a dusty shed , brushed off the cobwebs and found a masterpeice needing only a little restoration work . The issues still remain and the show still has relevance . Book it and see a performance of exquisite shadow puppets with an original sound track composed by Adrian Wagner. Manifiesto de la Selva was originally developed in support of rubber tapper, the late Chico Mendes, who was murdered for his efforts to save the Brazilian rain forest from destruction by expansionist cattle ranchers.The story of the rain forest brought into the light. A special production has been developed from the original for the National Eisteddfod 98 in response to the continuing threat the natural world faces. This includes poetic commentary in Welsh performed by Carol Byrne Jones.
