Welcome to People's Palace Projects
 People's
Palace Projects creates performances, workshops, debates and publications
that push the boundaries of where, how and why art matters. Founded in
1999 and based in the historic East London building of the People's Palace
at Queen Mary University of London, we conceive large scale, multi-faceted
projects authored and shaped around ideas and collaborations motivated
by the power of art to progress social justice and change.

and shows co-produced by People's Palace Projects and the Young
Vic, in association with the Servício Social de Comérico [SESC]

and exhilarating season that links the riverside Amazon city of
Rio Branco with the Thameside community of London's Waterloo. The
programme culminates in the latest in a long line of Young Vic Christmas
shows, this time inspired by legends and lives from the Brazilian
Amazon...Amazônia the show. Book
