In 2020 the world shutdown... By the time Gemma knew how bad it was she was already halfway across the world.

InPeru’d Awakening, Gemma Rose Hewitson takes you on a heart-wrenching solo journey through cancelled flights, border closures, military checkpoints, monkey cuddles, and the kind of silence only the Amazon can offer.

With limited access to the outside world, Gemma finds herself stranded inPeruat the very moment the world shuts down. Between escaping capuchins, dodgy toilets, embassy calls, and lullabies for orphaned spider monkeys, she discovers what it means to be truly lost—and surprisingly found.

This one-woman show is a story of determination, disconnection, and wild connection in the most unexpected places. Funny, chaotic, and deeply personal,Peru’d Awakening is for anyone who ever wanted to explore the unknown.
