On September 11th 2006, Transformance coordinators and 19 young people from MST landless movement communities that survived the massacre of Eldorado dos Carajás (Pará, Brazil), launched Cry of the Future, the 2nd edition of the 1999 monumental theatre-sculpture entitled Castanheira Trees of Eldorado. The sculpture marks 10 years of struggle for legal justice and cries out against the continuous massacre of the Amazonian forests and rivers.
