World Premiere of 'NAWA SIA' Highlights Amazonian Heritage at Monte Carlo Opera
The documentary by Isabella Vieira immerses audiences in the cultural and environmental challenges faced by Amazonian communities.
On April 19, 2023, the Opéra de Monte-Carlo hosted the world premiere of 'NAWA SIA, Les Secrets de l'Amazonie', a documentary directed by Isabella Vieira.
The event was notably aligned with the International Day of Indigenous Peoples in Brazil, serving as a tribute to the late cacique Bené, leader of the Huni Kuin community.
In remembrance, the Casino de Monte-Carlo was adorned with lights reflecting the colors of the Amazon rainforest.
The screening transformed into a multisensory experience, featuring soundscapes from the jungle and fragrances reminiscent of the forest.
The documentary was filmed at a frequency of 432 Hz, known for its purported natural resonance.
A shaman’s presence during the event added a spiritual dimension, further immersing the audience in the subject matter.
Isabella Vieira described the evening as 'historical and emotional', expressing her personal connection to her indigenous roots.
Known in the Amazon region as NAWA SIA, or 'Star of Truth', Vieira reflected on the significance of presenting her work in such a prestigious venue and among supportive attendees, highlighting the symbolic nature of the event.
The documentary aims to elevate awareness about the conservation of the Amazon and its indigenous peoples.
Olivier Wenden, CEO and Vice President of the Prince Albert II Foundation, emphasized the urgency of recognizing the plight of indigenous lands, illustrating solidarity beyond geographical boundaries.
All funds raised during the event, attended by 500 guests, were pledged to 'NAWA SIA Amazonia Alliance', an organization established by Isabella Vieira focused on reforestation efforts and support for indigenous communities in the Amazon.
