Their last international collaboration took them to South Africa - and now London's Young Vic theatre is looking to the Brazilian rainforest for inspiration.
The theatre has just started work on a year-long season of shows exploring the popular culture of Brazil's Amazon region, and the life and legacy of the environmental activist Chico Mendes.
The season, which includes shows both in Brazil and at the Young Vic, will culminate in a Christmas production co-written by Brazilian comedian and TV star Pedro Cardoso.
"This is a way to work with people in other countries and traditions who do something very different," says the theatre's artistic director, David Lan.
"There's an element of gamble, but you just have to jump off the cliff. We're trying to see just how adventurous we can be."
