A Story of Courage and Expression

The play captures the essence of resilience as Nova is forced to flee their homeland, embarking on a journey from Chile to Denmark via Mexico. Through a blend of burlesque and cabaret, the performance sheds light on the struggles of reclaiming one’s voice amidst oppression. Directed by Jeremy M. Thomas, this production is a celebration of artistic freedom and a testament to the indomitable human spirit.

Critical Acclaim
“Director Jeremy Thomas Bøgsted smartly opted for a total theatre experience allowing the audience to fully immerse themselves in the show banging on the ‘cacerolazos’ – saucepans for those of you struggling with the Latin American pottery context.”
The Disappeared is unlike anything else at the Fringe. Visually magnificent and purposeful, it feels like a different world to the one on the outside of the theatre doors. It really feels like South America.
