A supernatural trial. A spellbinding new drama which places you in a anonymous world where unseen forces hold the power over life and death. Agua Viva is a story steeped in the magical and mysterious atmosphere of a ‘candomble’ ritual (African based Brazilian religion). Agua Viva explodes onto the stage, plunging you into a surreal world alive with symbolism and poetry.
